Photo of new entrance from the outside with words, Library Construction Update

Now that our new entryway and window seating areas are complete, we are entering the near completion phase of grant-funded interior renovations.

Phase II of our grant-funded construction project is nearing completion. The adult collection, the young adult collection, and our children’s collection have been returned to their shelves. Look for the new titles, holiday books, games, and popular series in their new locations. Painting and carpet installation are complete, and new lighting for the entire main floor is on its way. The children’s train-themed play area will be soon getting its finishing touches! 
 
Thanks again to all of you who donated to the FOL carpet square fundraising campaign.

  • Tuesday Preschool Storytimes are being held at the social hall at the First United Methodist Church at 68 Maple Ave.

  • Thursday Library Tots are being held at the social hall at the First United Methodist Church at 68 Maple Ave.

The day half of the books got moved with a photo of an almost empty inside of the library.

Book movers came on Monday, September 30. The books are temporarily on carts in the Community Room.
