Submissions are being accepted for categories such as cutest, fluffiest, funniest, “goodest,” naughtiest, and many more. You may even enter more than one pet.

Grab an entry form for each pet at the library today or print one off at home. Voting opens July 19 and ends Aug. 21.

Masks are no longer mandated; however, there are times when children under 12 years of age - who cannot be vaccinated - are in the library. With highly-transmittable variants on the rise and much uncertainty about this new disease, we ask anyone who is not fully vaccinated to consider wearing a mask for everyone’s protection.

Hand sanitizer is available, and we are continuing to offer curbside services.
