Message from Library Director Pamela Monroe

Hi Friends,

Where did the time go? It feels like just yesterday I was wishing everyone a warm and blissful summer, and now we're stepping into boot season and looking forward to fireside chats. Fall is ideal for book clubs. Sharing a novel with loved ones this Thanksgiving can truly change the conversation. After all, fictional characters often have lives that captivate us more than our own routines. Take a look at our extensive collection of traveling book club kits. Pair one with a dish from our cookbooks, and you might just find neighbors eager to join.

Your support means so much. Every time you pick up a hold or click "Borrow," you strengthen our local library and the dedicated team behind it. We're thankful to be in a community that values what we do.

Amazing things are happening!
Pamela Monroe, Library Director
