We have a great start on our puzzle exchange at the library. If you like puzzles come in a pick one up; no check out required. If you have puzzles you have put together, bring them so someone else can enjoy them. These puzzles range from 300 pieces to 1,000 pieces.

It's National Library Workers Day - our favorite day of National Library Week!

Today we celebrate the hardworking, dedicated library professionals who power possibility in our neighborhoods, our schools, and our places of higher learning. As library workers across the U.S. continue to face challenges to their jobs and harassment from bad actors, it's essential we show up for them and voice our support for the work they do every day.

Thank you, library workers - libraries work because YOU do!
