Notes from Our Director: 

As fall turns to winter and the year comes to a close, it's a great time to visit CPL. Check out a book or a movie to enjoy on a cold winter evening, borrow one of our specialty cake and cookie pans to make holiday treats, or enjoy our classes and events. See below for a complete list of our December events, including a number of fun events for kids during the school break week!

Are you interested in helping to build on CPL's continuing success? Do you want to ensure the library's successful future by helping to maintain and improve it? The CPL Board of Trustees is currently seeking two trustees to join the Board. For more information, attend the Board meeting on Monday, December 17 or send a letter of interest to director@castletonpubliclibrary.org.
