The Library will be closed on Friday, July 4 in honor of Independence Day.

We will be closed on Saturdays & Sundays until the fall. Check for dates

The collection has been moved

As you may have noticed, we just completed a major shift of the collection. Our goal was to make visiting the Library more pleasant and productive. We think the final results will reflect the Library’s evolving role as the place in the community to make connections – with information, learning, art, literature, film, music, and each other. If you are having trouble finding what you need, please don’t hesitate to ask us for help. Here are some of the major changes:
