This Week at Your Library

If you are interested in making a Christmas donation to the library, we have a wish tree set up at the circulation desk. The ornaments on the tree have adult and children’s book titles on them that we would appreciate your help in purchasing for the library. The library will be closed December 24 and 25, in celebration of Christmas. Merry Christmas! We will also be closed on January 1, for the New Year’s holiday.
