We will be closed for the following holidays in February:

· Monday, February 19, 2024, for President’s Day

Due to staff shortages, Winter Hours are in effect from January 2 to March 4, 2024. The library is open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Due to shortened hours, the Teen Room is unavailable for after-school use on Fridays through March 1. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Carpet has been ordered and will soon be scheduled to be installed in the Community Room. When complete, the temporary Children’s Room will be able to move out of the Friends Corner and will occupy the Community Room until the official Children’s Room is ready (no definitive timeline for completion yet).



Many thanks to our patrons and visitors for their continued patience as the Children’s Room and Community Room remain closed and the Friends Corner is temporarily suspended.

A monumental classic considered by many to be not only the greatest love story ever written, but also the greatest Civil War saga, Gone with the Wind tells the story of Scarlett O’Hara, the beautiful, spoiled daughter of a well-to-do Georgia plantation owner. She must use every means at her disposal to claw her way out of the poverty she finds herself in after Sherman's March to the Sea.

Request a book, a large-print book, an e-book or an e-audio on the Libby app (available on Android, iPhone, tablets and desktops). Stop by the library to take a Libby brochure home or ask a staff member for assistance.

The Borrower Services and Reference staff invite you to

check out an item from our two staircase displays in

Room 201 - Large Print/New Books.

We hope that you enjoyed

your gardens this summer!

Please donate leftover seeds to a staff member in the Lobby or at Borrower Services on the second level. Seeds should be labeled and placed in a plastic zip lock bag.
