SUPPORT THE LIBRARY

Friends of the Library Spring Membership Campaign

The Friends are wrapping up their Spring Membership Campaign. If you haven’t yet become a Friend, or have a lapsed membership, now is the perfect time to show some love. The Library couldn’t have provided the service it did during the pandemic without the help of the Friends (and the Foundation). Your membership will help ensure the Friends can continue to support the many programs and services the public loves. Become a Friend today!

Toddler Storytime is Moving to the Old Mill Park Playground
