Note from the Director
Hello neighbors and friends!
Have you signed up for the summer reading program yet? There's something for everyone in each of our age categories: kids aged 0-10, teens aged 11-17, and adults 18+. Come to the main library building to pick up your booklets and learn about the prizes you can win, plus all the fun we're having for 6 more weeks of summer!
The Holiday Island services at SunFest Market have been hopping! You may return library materials in the return box at any time. If you wish to pick up a reserved item from one of the lockers, please call or email the library to set that up.
All the best,
Christina Danos
