Thank you to everyone who helped make our library fundraiser a success!

Weโ€™re so grateful to our volunteers and to everyone who came out to support us (and enjoy some delicious rib meals!). We truly couldnโ€™t do it without our amazing community.

We canโ€™t wait to use these funds to bring more great programs to the library and keep our community connected. Thank you!

Do you remember going to the library for summer reading when you were a kid?

The excitement of tracking your progress, earning prizes, attending fun events, and just being part of something special in your communityโ€ฆ Those are the kinds of memories we want to bring back for todayโ€™s kids.

This summer, JJ Hands Public Library is working hard to create a program that gets kids out of the house, engaged, learning, and connected, building that same sense of community so many of us grew up with.
