A valentine's present for you

On Valentine's Day, Friday, February 14th, you may choose one free bag of books from our Book Sale area to take home. We think that the best kind of date is one with a book!

Black History Month

February is Black History Month. Come in to YOUR library and check out the books we have on display. We have displays in both the adult and children's library for you to check out.

Teen Scene

We still have a couple of spaces left for our DIY Cookie Jar craft next week. Participants will be able to customize a cookie jar using the Cricut, and then fill their new jar with edible cookie dough balls!
