Annual Meeting – May 17

The Friends’ Annual Meeting is open to the public – all are welcome! The meeting will take place on Wednesday, May 17th, 4:30pm, in the library’s Community Meeting Room (next to the Children’s Room on the 2nd floor).

You’ll have a chance to:

  • hear about our upcoming projects
  • meet the new Treasurer
  • ask questions about the proposed 2023-2024 budget

A vote will be taken on the proposed budget, and all members of the Friends have a vote. To become a member, simply sign up here.

Looking forward to seeing you at the Annual Meeting!

Novels,
Non-Fiction,
& Nosh

A delicious fundraiser you won’t want to miss! On Friday, May 19, come to the library after hours (6-8pm) for sweet and savory treats, and take home a wrapped book – either fiction or non-fiction, as you choose.

The event will be held in the library’s Main Reading Room. Tickets are $10, available in advance at the library or at the door.

1st Wednesdays

The popular First Wednesdays series is free and open to the public. The lectures are held on the first Wednesday of the month, October through May, at 7PM – see the flyer here.
