1,000 Books Before Kindergarten

Join our free early literacy program and steer your baby or preschooler toward academic success! Studies show that children who are read to from an early age develop better vocabulary, make more connections in their brains, and form the needed skills to read by themselves much quicker than their average peers who are not read to. Sign up by stopping in at the library for your first reading log, welcome letter, and other paperwork. Take a look at our awesome readers here.

For Families

Celebrate all things Seuss at a drop-in program on March 2!

Between 10 am and 4:30 pm, stop by the library event room to
