The Friends of the Library Bookshelf

Celebrate spring break by bringing the kids to the library to choose new books from the huge selection on the cart outside the Bookshelf.  You will find picture books, chapter books for young readers, craft books, superheroes, something for everyone.  Have fun!

Thinking of donating books to the library?  Do it now!  The newer the books, the more likely they are to be added to the library’s collection.  They will also be welcome at the Bookshelf and appreciated by our customers.

Bookshelf hours are from 10:30-5:00 on weekdays and from 12:00-2:00 on Saturdays
