Reach for the Stars!

Reach for the Stars and help the library reach its fundraising goal of $10,000! We are looking to upgrade and improve many areas of the library including painting the children's room, new flooring and many other must-fix items. With the community's help, we can reach this goal.

You can be a star with your donation. Donations will be recognized with stars of blue (over $25), silver (over $50)and gold (over $100) on the mural in the children's room (picture at left - artwork by Renee Malowitz).

Stop by the library for more details and to make a donation!

As always, the continued support of the community is appreciated and it is our pleasure to serve our patrons. Thank you!

March Book Selection

The selection for March is Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer. Stop by the library to pick up a copy and join us Tuesday, March 4 at 7 pm.

February Coffee House

We just wanted to give the Coffee House a little bump up the blog list. Be sure to join us Thursday, February 7 at 6 pm for Muga Wump.

We'd also welcome any donations made to the Coffee House series. Consider baking a goodie to go with the coffee (please list ALL ingredients) or making a cash donation to be used towards paper goods, coffee and performer fees. Another way to support the library is to help promote our programs and services - email a friend with the latest library news! Your support makes many things at the library possible!

Look up!

Next time you're in the library, take a look up and around as you enter. We've repainted the hallway with thanks to our patrons who have made donations to the library in 2007. We think it is looking good and hope to be able to make more necessary changes to other parts of the library soon. The marble statues have anew home in the entryway as well. Be sure to take a peak.

Thank You!
