Plop into a comfy chair by our fireside one of these chilly, fall days, for a quiet afternoon to read and reflect.
Or settle down in one of our other cozy corners for a private chat with friends. Whatever your study needs, we’re equipped for you.
Our public computers are ready for your use, and we have a printer with scanner and fax capability. We even have an exam room for serious study sessions without the distractions of home, like your pets' antics, the plants that need water, or the pantry treats calling your name.
If you prefer a party-like atmosphere, check out our annual Monster Bash this Saturday from 1 to 3 p.m. Sink your teeth into chilling crafts, spine-tingling treats, and a costume parade that will make your blood run cold.
There will be thrills and chills for all ages, so be sure to come dressed in your most imaginative costume and join the fun. However, spots are limited, so please call the library to pre-register.
