What do 300 mini beach balls look like? Now you know! Come on over this Saturday, May 30, 10 AM to 2 PM, for Summer Kickoff! You might take home a cute souvenir beach ball after signing up for Summer Reading, enjoying cool tunes by Ben Tatar & the Tatar Tots and Johnny Russler & the Beach Bum Band, the hilarious antics of juggler Andy Head, bubbles, airbrush tattoos, crafts, games, ice pops, and time outside in the sunshine and fresh air! We can’t wait to celebrate summer with you. Everyone is welcome, this event is free, no registration or library card required.

We want to take a moment to acknowledge the retirement of Nalini Jayaraman, a member of our Customer Service team for almost 23 years. Nalini retired on May 1, 2026. In her time here, she was a wonderful mentor and leader on the Customer Service team. Her warmth, professionalism, and commitment to our customers and staff have made a lasting impact on our Library community, and she will be greatly missed. We wish her the very best as she begins the adventure of retirement! 👏🏻🌸🌟🎉
