As the cost of keeping the library open continues to rise with escalating insurance, utility and other operational expenses, we often find ourselves having to choose between paying the “bills” and purchasing books, audios, and other library necessities. It is important to the school that the library support the literacy needs of the students and they help us do just that. However, the public patrons, including the pre school aged children, and our Summer Reading programs are what gets cut first. If you would like to help us with particular needs for the library, you can do so by clicking on the link below which will take you to a page that you can choose to donate in a loved ones name as a Memorial or Honorarium. You may also choose what program or part of the library services you would like your gift to go. The Library Board and I will diligently continue to make the best choices for the library as we move forward into the future by being good stewards of your gifts to us. Above all, we thank you for your continued support of the library and look forward to serving you for years to come. Sincerely, Lori Cox, Director

Open Monday through Friday 9 am to 6:30 pm Closed Saturday and Sunday year-round Summer Hours are 9 am to 6:30 pm Monday through Thursday 9 am to 1 pm on Friday
