November Update!
It's November! I've always felt November is an in-between month, past Halloween and not yet into the winter holidays and the new year. It is that wet and blustery portion of fall where winter will soon be upon us. Fortunately, the library is warm and dry! This month we have ever so much excitement for you: yoga, dogs, music, and many, many storytimes!
The library will be closed for Thanksgiving on the 24th and 25th, but we'll be open again on the 26th!
