A community jewel! We love our library and especially the staff! They consistently go above and beyond in service and dedication. Throughout the pandemic they were a lifeline. Their innovation and spirit got the community through many challenges. We are delighted with the programs and services provided in both good and challenging times.Bravo!

Charming old library with a good selection of books. The kid’s section is great, it also has toys and puzzles. There is a summer reading program going on right now.

This is one of my favorite local libraries. The building is beautiful and well maintained. There is a excellent selection and the staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. There is a great dedicated section for children and there is always some sort of activity or program going on for adults and children alike. I also love that they do a food drive in exchange for late fees at least once a year...what a great way to give back and clear my debts!

Unfortunately, due the short notice we had on the closing we can not reschedule the discussion. They will, however, dedicate some time at the next book club meeting to discuss the title in brief.
