Pop some streamers and blow up the balloons, because we have a birthday party here at the library!

It is wild to say, but this library is officially 19 years old today. After 19 years of serving our community, we are just so thankful to every single one of our patrons who makes our day brighter, more fun, and a better place.

Come on in to the library for some lemonade and cookies and to just say hi!

This week is looking to be interesting. Come and see us in the cool library.

It's your money, use it when YOU need it.

Wait, that's a different guy.

We are hosting a representative from the Illinois State Treasurer, Treasurer Michael Frerichs, here at the library. They will have the database to run the information on if you are owed money and will write a check right here that you can take to the bank.

Be sure to stop in here at the Princeton Public Library on August 5th at 10 AM to see if you qualify to get a check written.
