The main floor of the Library has reopened for browsing, indoor assistance, and computer use by appointment! The Library has new capacity limits so that we can maintain social distancing, and wearing masks or face coverings is required. Virtual programming, curbside pick-up, and outside services will continue.

               -can be targeted for babies/toddlers, preschool, or elementary aged students

               -includes stories, songs, and rhymes

     -will be centered around a theme, either chosen by the librarian or designed to supplement your school’s curriculum. Example themes include:

               Animals

               Transportation

               Visiting the library

               Community Helpers

               A Universe of Stories (Library Summer Reading theme 2019)
