Note from the Director
Hello neighbors and friends,
Thank you for another fun and eventful Summer Reading Program! We wish everyone a great school year. At the top of our list right now is something each and every one of you can help with. Please take a moment to complete a survey about library services. We are working on a strategic plan, and your anonymous input will guide the library's direction, priorities, and progress for the next 3-5 years. Either click the link below to fill it out digitally, or pick up a paper copy from the library, then turn it in at the circulation desk or in the outside book return box.
We have a special author discussion on Friday, September 25th at 6PM, and we are planning a month-long series of spooky events in October... so stay tuned for those details in next month's newsletter.
With gratitude,
Christina Danos
