Tell us what you think
about library programs for children One of things that librarians enjoy most is having the opportunity to share stories, knowledge, and our love of reading with the community. Sometimes this is accomplished through one-on-one interactions with customers looking for materials. Often, though, the best forum for sharing is through special programs.
The Library prides itself on offering a wide selection of programs including story times, craft and science activities, and reading practice with therapy dogs, just to highlight a few. Since we want to be responsive to our community’s needs, we’ve developed a short survey to gain your input. We ask that you take a moment and share your thoughts with us on children’s programming. Your responses will help us plan future programs. Simply click here to fill out the survey. Thanks for your help!

Laptops now for home use --
Thanks, Westfield Group! The recent donation of used laptops from the Westfield Insurance Group has not only allowed the Library to offer more openings in its computer classes, but also means that the older laptops we used to use for those classes are now available to be checked out and taken home. You may borrow a laptop for one week, provided that you are at least 18 years old and that your library account has no outstanding fines or fees.
The laptops come with a wide variety of software applications including the Microsoft Office suite, Picasa (photo management), Open Office, instant messaging applications, and several Internet browsers.
Those wishing to borrow a laptop for home use should fill out an application at the Customer Service Desk.
