A pair of glasses were found in the parking lot Wednesday morning. If these look like they could be yours, they are at the front desk.

Thank you 2025 donors! In addition to the individuals, businesses, service clubs, and community organizations listed in this reel, several area school districts and municipalities made budgetary appropriations to support library and bookmobile services countywide. It takes a community to support your local libraries' mission. It is such a pleasure to serve our neighbors throughout Somerset County!
