Our Spring Reading Program is ready to go! Registration is now open. We are excited to be able to have our patrons in the library for Spring Reading Program this year.  Watch for events on our website and social media. We will be offering some virtual programming, which will ensure continuity should the regulations change again.

Online Novel Book Club – April 1, 2021 meeting will be at 7:00 pm  

The next title for discussion is: Let’s Pretend this Never Happened by Jenny Lawson.  We will have copies available here at the Library for pick up. Below is a brief synopsis.

“This book is a love letter to my family. It’s about the surprising discovery that the most terribly human moments—the ones we want to pretend never happened—are the very same moments that make us who we are today. I’ve reserved the very best stories of my life for this book…to celebrate the strange, and to give thanks for the bizarre. Because you are defined not by life’s imperfect moments, but by your reaction to them. And because there is joy in embracing—rather than running screaming from—the utter absurdity of life. I thank my family for teaching me that lesson. In spades.”
