Friends of the Library:
You're Invited!
Parking Lot and Foundation

Wednesday, May 22 at 6:45 PM - With Phase 1 of our expansion complete, we now face the challenge of a parking lot that is more than occasionally FULL! The Phase 2 addition of desired amenities cannot be achieved without community involvement and a responsible spending plan. Join us for a presentation of a way to the future from Friends officers and library board members. As always, your thoughts and ideas are crucial to your library's success.
