The library is offering mobile hotspots for patrons to check out. These small devices can access the internet using a cellular connection. Hotspots may be checked out for fourteen days with no renewals to registered users age eighteen or older in good standing for at least one month prior to check out. A lending agreement must be signed upon check out and a survey must be completed upon return. If the hotspot is not returned on time the device will be disabled. Please contact the library for more information.

The Book Challenge for July is to read a book that features nonhuman characters. These may be animals, aliens, or even zombies! Come see the display of selections for you to choose from.

Summer Reading continues throughout the month of July. All ages are welcome to participate. Children accompanied by an adult are invited to the weekly Storytime in the Park each Tuesday at 10 A.M. Children ages 0-kindergarten can keep track of books read, or read to them, and report to the library to earn gift certificates for ice cream, Italian sodas or personal pizzas. Students in grades 1-8 can earn prizes for minutes read. For each prize earned children will have their name entered to win a grand prize at the conclusion of Summer Reading. Teens and adults should notify the library for each book read to be entered to win a $50 gift card. Don’t miss the Story Walks at the park and the elementary school.
