Exciting news!

Work will begin on the ramp, parking lot, and garden/patio project as of Monday, April 6, 2026. The regular library parking lot will be closed for the duration of the project.

Through fundraising and the Annual Membership Drive, the Friends are able to provide many extras to our library, including:
