First of all, I would like to say “Thank You” to our loyal patrons! I understand how tough it has been for everyone and we continue to appreciate your patience with us during these trying times! The Covid-19 pandemic took time away from our great patrons and we are just now opening back up and we are definitely looking forward to seeing everyone soon!

All of our staff members are doing our part to keep everyone safe! We are sanitizing multiple times a day and have a 7-day sanitation process for all returned items during this time. We also are limiting the number of people inside the library at one time and the computers are by appointment only.

We have some fun adult and children’s activities planned for this summer. Look below for more information and if you have any questions about the programs, please give us a call and we will be happy to answer them!

Our children’s summer activities are virtual this year. You can find the virtual video’s on our Facebook page under groups. Find our Facebook page here.

Each video has a correlating activity bag that can be picked up at the library at your earliest convenience.

We are so excited to see you again and hope you take advantage of our summer programs!
