The library is undergoing a makeover! Spatial remodeling of both floors has begun and is slated to continue for approximately nine weeks. Enhancements will include updated furniture, new children’s computers, improved access to new books and videos, and a renovated parent and toddler area. While the library will strive to maintain general public access throughout the construction process, please be advised that all library programs, classes and events are subject to change. Once the transformation is completed be on the lookout for a special event celebrating the new spaces and the library’s 15th anniversary.
