It’s been a busy day- getting our window display ready for…Yellow Pig Day! While math is NOT my favorite thing in the world, I absolutely love the opportunity to learn something new and to showcase a subject of books that might not get the spotlight often! Stop by our window on Main Street and read about the math holiday that is Yellow Pig Day, and the number 17! Can you read 17 fun stories to your child by July 17th?
We also are spotlighting our gorgeous Caldecott Award winning books in a new area in the library. Stop by to see what’s new and borrow some cool books to take home!

Monday 10am-1230pm
Wednesday, Friday & Saturday 10am-3pm
Thursday 10am-230pm
