Winter Weather
Many of our patrons find winter the time to curl up with a good book. Some prefer to tackle a classic while others want the latest best seller. What better place than your local library to find that perfect winter read? We offer hardbacks, paperbacks, audio books and e-Audiobooks. Along with magazines and videos. If we don't have the title you are looking for, we will try to locate it through interlibrary loan. Interested in a new or different recipe for cold weather meals? Planning your summer garden? Want to learn about history or your favorite movie star? We have a book that will help with that! Check us (and a book) out!

Got genealogy questions?
Are you stuck in your genealogical quest for long lost relatives? Wonder how to get started in genealogy? Ask our genealogist on Saturday August 15th 10:30 to Noon.
Genealogy is the study or investigation of ancestry and family histories. Genealogy is also an addictive hobby. Its like working a giant jigsaw puzzle, only you have to find the pieces before you can put them all together. Too frequently genealogists forget to factor in the historical importance of their family history. Spend some time researching the time period and the history of the location your family was in during that time period. You may be surprised at what you learn and how it could help you further your research, maybe even answer a few "brick wall" questions.
