Library News & Events - For Adults
                December 2017
December is a quieter time for our libraries.  We finish up the last of the ordering, make note of all the new and recommended books we've been meaning to read, and start thinking about next year.

In January, we will be saying so long to OverDrive eBooks & eAudiobooks, and hello to an expanded CloudLibrary.  Now is the time to download the CloudLibrary app, and begin using it to download books and audiobooks to your smartphone, tablet or computer.  For more information, click here.

Also coming next month, the Winter Reads adult reading program will have a new option for online participation, and several programs featuring local authors are planned through February.  As always, your book recommendations and reviews are welcomed, and may garner you a prize.

We're looking forward to a great 2018!  Happy Holidays!
