Swipe ➡️ for a sneak peek of the new Children’s Room!

We’re just one week away from reopening, and we couldn’t be more excited! We wanted to share a few before-and-after photos to give you a glimpse of the transformation.

The books aren’t on the shelves just yet, but the furniture is in place, and it’s all starting to come together.

As we get ready to welcome everyone back, there’s still time to help us make this space even more special for the children and families in our community.

If you’d like to support the new Children’s Room, please consider making a donation. Every gift (big or small) helps us create engaging programs, expand our collection, and provide a welcoming space where young readers can learn, imagine, and grow. See link in bio to donate 💙

Stay tuned for more updates as we count down to our grand reopening on July 22 at 2pm.
