Before and after pictures are now available on our website so you can see the transformation of the new building from a medical center to a library. What do you think of the change?

While a human chain passing books down the street looks like fun, moving 20,000 books and their heavy wooden shelves is best left to the professionals. All of the books made it safely to their new home and they’ll be ready for you to check out at the grand opening August 6th!

While we pack up all the physical books, remember you can still check out ebooks and audiobooks for free with your library card. Try out our apps: Libby and Palace Project.

We had the last story time, craft class, Lego club, and closing event of our time in the community building. You only have Thursday, Friday, and Saturday to visit the old library.

This Friday is your opportunity to help transplant the library to its new building! Starting at 10am on 7/24, a group of volunteers will bring all of the furniture and supplies from the community building and storage to the new library. Do you have a truck? Trailer? Muscles? There is a lot of heavy lifting. Anyone under 18 must have a waiver signed by a parent on site. Will we see you there?

Mini golf is ready to go! Drop by the library lawn between 2-4pm today. This event is totally free and open to everyone who turned in a reading log over the summer. See you soon.
