DIGITAL Coffee Hour Saturday, April 4th 10:00 a.m.....

Well, we can't meet in person, but we CAN take pictures of ourselves, or our coffee cups/mugs. Please send me your photos and/or comments and I will post them to the library blog on Saturday morning. I am the admin of the blog, so I am the only one who can upload content, but anyone may make a comment. If you want to post text, but wish to do so anonymously, please let me know. Thanks and lets all have a grand time (kind of) together!

Latest Update

As of  Saturday, 3/28/2020 we will no longer be able to offer curbside pick-ups.
Also, PLEASE keep any books that you currently have checked out until we -open in May (or whenever).
I will let you all know when it is safer to do so. Just keep all books, DVDs, CDs to be returned in one place in your home and when we can take them back I'll let you know. If you have newspapers or magazines, just keep them on a permanent loan. Thank you for your help. Stay safe.

I will be available at the library during regular hours for phone or email consultation. I can help you with sorting fact from fiction and direct you to reliable sources if you need help.

I can help you get set up with Downloadable audio and e-books, online periodicals and Kris and I have many online sources for children.

Or if you want want to chat, I'm happy to help in that way, as well!

Faroe Islands program

On Saturday, March 28th at 11:00 a.m. please join us for a great program!
 Footpaths, Fibers, Fun…on the Sheep Islands—Foeroyar (Faroe Islands)

Sarah and Elizabeth Kendall recount and show highlights of their early spring 2019 adventure in the fresh, windy, and occasionally snowy island nation of the Faroes. Eighteen islands, joined by ferries and tunnels, inhabited by approximately 57,000 people and 80,000 sheep (in high season). Volcanic landscapes in the middle of the North Atlantic, surrounded by the Gulf Stream at 62 degrees N, between Scotland and Iceland — full of birds, waterfalls, farms, fjords growing salmon, viking and medieval ruins, and the world’s oldest parliament. Wandering revealed surprises such as knitting supplies at the grocery store, picturesque villages, three languages, chain dancing, and a range of architecture and 20th century art.
