NEW: The FCC has officially published its new proposals for E-Rate, which include possible elimination of this essential program. We need to make our voices heard. You can submit a formal comment to the agency urging them to protect E-Rate, which provides broadband discounts to libraries and schools in every state.

The Sully Branch Library will be adding new Spanish-language children's books to the shelves!

We partnered with a local community business, Hipocampo Children's Books, to find fresh literature for the library. How local? So local that we rode our Books by Bike to the shop to pick up the order when it arrived!

Library staff are hard at work getting these books ready for families to borrow this summer. More updates as they become available!

Thank you to Pamela Bailie and Henry Padrón-Morales from Hipocampo! Thanks, also, to the Rochester Regional Library Council that gave the library a Special Project Grant that made this undertaking possible!
