Now that the rain showers have begun, it’s easy to tell we’re finally in spring, despite current temperatures. On rainy days, afternoons or evenings, we invite you to join us at the library for programs, camaraderie and the collections of books, DVDs, music and audiobook CDs and board and card games available to you.

Want to stay at home instead? We understand! Check out our e-collections using your library card. You can access a variety of e-books and e-audiobooks through CloudLibrary, e-magazines through Flipster and all the news you could ever want from a variety of American and worldwide newspapers through Access World News.
