Your Library is Getting Spruced Up!

Even libraries need a makeover sometimes! This April, we're rolling out the new carpet (literally!) and breaking out the paint brushes to give your favorite library space some well-deserved TLC. After faithfully serving our community since 2006 with the same trusty carpet and paint, it's time for a little freshening up!

Don't worry - we wouldn't dream of completely ghosting you during our beauty transformation! While the main library might be closed for our carpet and paint refresher, we've set up limited hours and services in our lobby. You can still:

• Pick up your holds
• Browse through new and popular items
• Return materials
