Notes from Our Director: 

Happy New Year!

The dawning of a new year is a great time for a fresh start and to explore new opportunities. Want to find ways to eat healthier, join a book club, or explore a new craft? We have programs this month to help you attain your goals! See this month's program calendar for more information. 

Our weekly Thursday storytime is also changing beginning this month. Our Learn & Play Storytime, offered every Thursday at 10:30 a.m., helps little ones from birth to age 5 build their early literacy and motor skills through stories, rhymes, music, movement, and play. Bring your little one and help strengthen the skills they need to become ready to read -- and have fun too! 

Looking for a new book to read or a new movie to watch? Check out new items added to our collection within the last 30 days. 

We look forward to serving you in 2018!
