Week Calendar

It's National LIbrary Week, a time to celebrate all the diverse and varied ways people connect with and utilize libraries. Award-winning graphic novel creators Raina Telgemeier and Scott McCloud are the honorary chairs.

Please join us for an evening with Dave Markward as he shares his personal journey of understanding racism in America.

To celebrate National Library Week, join us for a screening of PBS Independent Lens's brand new documentary Free for All: The Public Library. The film is an hour long, and there will be a discussion afterwards.

Do your toddlers love to get messy?  Bring them to Petite Picassos where they can use all of their senses with hands on art.  We will take care of the mess as they create their masterpieces.
