Boys and Ghouls! Can you find our friends of Halloween in our library? We hear them haunting the downstairs children's area sometimes when it gets quiet 👀 Can you find them all and solve the riddle?

Start your search by collecting a laminated sheet of the riddle and ghouls and a dry erase marker. When solved, receive a treat!

We are excited to announce that our North Parking Lot is being redone! We are told that parking can resume behind the library after Wednesday of next week. Please do not attempt to park or drive onto the work area. If you require assistance due to this area being unavailable to reach our automated handicap accessible back entrance, please call the library during operation and staff may assist you if able.

This project is able to happen thanks to the American Libraries Association's Libraries Transforming Communities: Accessible Small and Rural Communties grant. Much thanks to our city's street commissioner and team for taking on the work to provide a smoother parking lot for our community hub!

Pictured here: The crumbling asphalt of the library's North Parking lot is being removed.
