Beginning Tuesday, October 3, the following library items will temporarily move into storage:

  • MOST MOVIES
  • ALL MUSIC CDs
  • ALL CHILDREN’S AUDIOBOOKS

This action is necessary as we prepare to move into the west side of the building. We believe that items moved to storage will remain unavailable for the next 2-4 weeks.

Celebrate a birth, graduation, new position, significant achievement, retirement or other special occasion. Thank a teacher or coach for a great year. Honor the memory of a loved one or commemorate a special event with a gift to the library.

While the Library is happy to discuss commemorative gift options, the most common commemorative gifts are made in the form of monetary contributions which are earmarked to purchase items for the Library's collection.

Bookplates with the name of the person being honored and the name of the person giving the gift can be placed in materials purchased with these donations.

If your gift is in honor of or in memory of an individual, the Library can send an acknowledgement of your gift to the individual or to the family of the individual.
