Note from the Director
We are thrilled to announce that all repair work has been completed by Ellingson Contracting, and we are happy to welcome you through our freshly-painted front doors!
Speaking of thrills, our summer reading theme this year is DINOSAURS! Come to the main library desk starting on Tuesday, May 26th, to get all the information and sign up for the children's, teens', or adult programs.
The auxiliary drop box and pick-up lockers at SunFest Market in Holiday Island are ready! You may return library materials in the return box any time, and 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,
