We’ll be discussing travel books June 4. If money was no object and there were no restrictions, where would you like to travel? Find your own travel book that takes you there! Rome? The Outback? The Nile? Read about it and then we’ll talk about it together.

The library is starting a Minecraft Club for ages 8 to 18. Our first session will be 11 a.m. June 7.

Call or stop by for more information so we can figure out what we need to supply. An expert will be on hand to teach and help troubleshoot.

Plus, we can get untold thousands of other items from dozens of other regional libraries in a matter of a day or so. Come in, call or check out our catalog online. We’ll help you any way we can.
