2020

2020 started with a new change at the library when back in March we received our new books shelves. I would like to thank all the people and companies who donated to help make them posable. They make the library feel more open and welcoming.

March we closed our doors, like so many others, for a few weeks. We are lucky with a small library and after being closed for two weeks we stared offering home deliveries and closed door pick-up services. We offered or summer reading program but sadly no in person story times or robotics.

With school starting in the fall the numbers of children returning to the library dropped but during the school year the school library is able to barrow books from us for them as well.

Not much else happened in 2020 at the library, be ready for some fun events coming in 2021!
