Shortened Hours

We are currently short staffed, but will be fully staffed soon. Until we have critical positions filled, we will close Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 5:00. All programs that were scheduled on those nights have been canceled. We are open until 8:00pm on Mondays and Thursdays. We should be back to normal hours by October. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause.

Picture Book Month

Picture book month logo-the words Picture Book Month are written in blue text and arch over a cartoon of a mouse reading a book to a mouse and a squirrel. Below the picture, in blue text, are the words A Celebration!

Did you know November is Picture Book Month?! It’s a month to celebrate all the amazing picture books out there, both old and new. Picture books are a child’s first introduction to literature, language, and words, and they are foundational and, more than a little, magical. 

To celebrate this month, our youth services staff have put together a few recommendations for both new and older picture books! 

Want even more? Come into youth services and ask our very talented staff! 

The books below can all be found in our catalog.
