Books are just the beginning

How does a community grow? When does a child begin to learn? We believe a solid foundation starts at a young age, and is the springboard for a lifetime of learning & a strong community. It's one of the reasons why we are offering children's programs such as:
  • 1000 Books before Kindergarten
  • Summer Reading Program
  • Fun & Seasonal activities
​
...And to keep our older youth and and adults engaged, we continue to get new materials weekly. We've been busy cleaning out making room for new items, and re-organizing our area to make it comfortable & inviting for everyone! If you haven't stopped by lately, come see what we've been up to!

The more that you read,
the more things you will know.
The more that you learn,
the more places you’ll go.
​—Dr. Seuss
