Our children's librarians have been busy bees replenishing the ever-popular board books section. So many fun lift-a-flaps & pop-ups to explore during bedtime storytime!

Join us tomorrow for our next installment of our Die Well series: "The Basics of a Home Funeral." In this session, we will go over the basics of a home funeral, from getting your loved one home if they have died elsewhere, to how to wash, cool, care for, and maintain the body, as well as ideas for a meaningful home vigil for your loved one. We will hold a “mock” home funeral if time and space allow.

We're seeking artists of all ages and talents to design a few new Curtis library cards for patrons to choose from when they get a new library card! Now through July 15, pick up information at any Service Desk or visit the link below for more information. The theme is LIBRARY JOY! We'll choose several designs and hope to have them available for September's Library Card Sign Up Month!
