The Workshop - Library Hours

The Workshop Lab is closed Tuesday, October 8 through Sunday, October 13 for electrical work. We will resume service on Tuesday, October 15 for regular hours.

April 3 - 9 is National Library Week

We are celebrating the whole month of April!

There are so many new spaces to explore after our recent renovations! If you haven't been in lately, you're in for a surprise. Visit the Main Library and our Branches to enjoy our fresh, updated look and get acquainted with new spaces and materials that we provide to the community.

  • The Youth Area has new shelving, furniture, and a gaming station. 
  • The Storytime Room is all new for fun programs. 
  • Check out Movies and Music in an easy to browse section on the first floor. 
  • All Adult Fiction and Nonfiction is now located on the second floor.
