Library Updates

Please note that loitering outside the building when the library is closed is not permitted. Please dispose of all trash in the receptacles in the park.

We are currently experiencing issues with leaks in the building, and are working to repair the damage as soon as possible. Please understand if some items are moved for safety reasons. Unfortunately our lovely building is over 100 years old.

We are continuing weeding books that have not circulated in many years. Many of these books will be available after discard to be purchased in the lobby. Books that are out of date or damaged will unfortunately have to be thrown away. These books have been loved hard over the years and we thank everyone who read them in the past.
