News from the Director
This month we are unveiling our newly-designed library logo! The purpose of the logo is to visually communicate our mission and vision to provide resources and services to inform, educate, enlighten and entertain members of the community and serve as a place for all to discover the joy of reading. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Look for the new logo on all future communications and be sure to follow us on our new Instagram account.
