Building Update:
We are all so excited about the progress of our addition and remodel project!  We have reached the home stretch!  Our beautiful library is bigger and better now.  We are in the process of finishing up a few last things and moving back into our original space.  We are now  open to the public with limited hours and services.  Join us for our grand reopening on May 15.  Details on the flyer below.
