Check out the library this month

Happy Holidays to you and yours. It is a pleasure to live and work in a community that values the library and all that it represents: learning, democracy, and freedom of information.

The library is offering service at the annex at the north end of the block while the Repurpose Project is underway. Stop by and check out a new book, DVD, or book on CD. Internet access is also available.
