Welcome Alumni!
The library will be open special hours for reminiscing!
Our regular hours Friday and Saturday are 9-1 and we will stay open from 1-5 both days for self-guided nostalgia tours (but no library business from 1-5).
Front Entrance Closed
The front entrance of the library is closed while they repair the front steps. The side entrance, near Kent's Mary Patterson building, and the back entrance are still open. The book return has been moved to near the back entrance (facing the alley behind Cooper's Insurance). Sorry for the inconvenience.
Fleece Drive & Blanket Craft Event
We are collecting donations of fleece to make tie blankets for individuals in need. We are asking for 2-yard sections in order to make large enough blankets. To make one blanket, we need 2 sections of 2 yards (front & back). Please drop the material off in the bin placed by the main desk.
