Fill out our Strategic Planning Survey to help shape the future of your library!

We're embarking on the process of building our new strategic plan for the next 3-5 years, and we are looking for your feedback to help guide us through this process! We would love to hear what you enjoy, what matters most to you and what you’d like to see from your library in the future.

Please fill out the survey linked below and, if you're interested, you can also attend one of our upcoming community conversations where you can share your thoughts about the library and ideas for its future with us directly! Your input will help us understand our community’s needs and priorities as we plan for what comes next.

The votes are in! As part of National Coffee Month, we polled patrons at the front desk about their favorite way to drink coffee: hot or iced. It was a close vote, but the final tally was 71 for hot and 70 for iced. Sorry to all the iced coffee drinkers, we lost this round!

And congratulations to James for winning our Coffee Bean Count! James had the closest guess of 2775 to the 2819 coffee beans that were in the jar. Thank you to everyone for participating in our coffee-themed events this past month!
