This Week at Your Library

The library will be closed December 24 and 25, for Christmas. The library doors are open. We are still doing curbside delivery if you would prefer not to come inside. We do ask that you wear a mask to enter the library. If you do not have a mask, one will be provided. Children under 13 MUST be accompanied by an adult. Two computers are available for adults. Teen and children’s computers are not available.

Displays: This month on display, we have Violet Smith and Melissa Mitchell’s Christmas Village. We also have Seashells by Josie Pearson. Josie is giving these away, so if you would like one or more seashells, stop by the library and let one of us know.
