A Great Meeting Place!

It’s been another very busy week at the library. We are thrilled to have about 1,100 children participating in our summer reading program and another 100+ teens also reading. There’s still time to sign up! It’s fun and there are prizes too!

Our Brown Bag concerts have been phenomenal! The performers were super and the audiences huge. Everyone has a great time. Even though more than 700 people are attending, it’s not too crowded or chaotic. We are pleased to work with the Friends of the Library and our other sponsors to bring you this quality, free entertainment.

Our meeting rooms are used every day by groups large and small. The library is a good place to gather. If your group needs a meeting space during the hours the library is open, consider contacting us. There is no charge. Meetings must be open to the public and cannot be of a commercial nature. We can even include a library tour or short talk on services if you like.

Our large meeting room works well for meeting of 12-60. We can set up a big square of tables, for a meeting format, or a theater style set up for a presentation type of program. Our small meeting room is great for a group of 4 to 8, and even up to 12. Committees and planning meetings are great in this room.

While our library programs are priorities, we encourage you to consider meeting at the library for some of your events. A kitchenette is available, so you can bring food and beverages. We have Wireless Internet, an overhead projector, sound system, flip chart and more to make your meetings more productive.

The library is a community resource that’s more than books!
