The Library is open from 10 am to 5 pm today and tomorrow but will be closed on Sunday (2/16) and Monday (2/17) for #PresidentsDay. We'll reopen at 10 am on Tuesday, 2/18. The Library never truly closes, though! Access our 24/7 Library anytime, anywhere: tinyurl.com/bd7jx8wz.

Happy Valentine’s Day! We’re *loving* these pawsome pet photo booths, recently created by a Library patron who stopped in to use #uCreate’s #Cricut—purrrrfect indeed. 😍🐾 You can learn to use the Cricut, too—it’s easy! Email Chris @ [email protected] to get started.

#Teens: #SilentBookClub meets tomorrow (2/25) at 3:30 pm in the Library's Board Room. Enjoy reading whatever you choose in a quiet place with other teens! Then, share what you’ve read (but only if you’d like). There will be snacks!

#FlashbackFriday: What a blast we had @ our annual After-Hours #NerfWars last week! This year’s crew just might have been our most energized yet! Don’t worry—no books were harmed during battle… but we’ll likely be finding darts in the stacks for the next year. #teens #Summer2025
