A Note from the Director
Who doesn't love a library? It's a place you can go in any town and discover the world."
~Pat MacEnulty~

February is National Library Lovers Month, so please show your library some love by paying us a visit to say hello, browse the collection, read with your children, attend a program, or just relax and unwind in one of our comfy chairs!
We will have a table of goodies set up, including special information about the Library and its Capital Campaign, bundles from the BookNook, and a sweet treat.
Hope to see you here!
Library Lovers Month
The Library Board needs the time, talents, and skills of LaGrange residents to ensure the Library’s success as a vital resource in the community. The work is rewarding and the impact is great!
