Food For Fines

February is Food for Fines Month at the library! Here's your chance to do two good deeds at once: clear up your overdue fines at the library and help the hungry. For every can/package of food brought in, the library will forgive $1.00 in overdue fines. Fees for lost or damaged items will not be waived.

Call for Artists

Application Period Now Closed

The deadline is 5pm on Thursday, October 31, 2024. Artists will be notified of decision by November 30.

The library's Community Room gallery hosts a monthly rotating exhibit of art. The library strives to present the best work in the widest possible range of media and styles throughout the year. The space is set up for two-dimensional work, but we have three display cases in the library for three-dimensional work.
