The Library will be closed on Saturday, May 25 and on Monday, May 27 in observance of Memorial Day. The Library will reopen on Tuesday, May 28 at 10:00 a.m.

Have a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day weekend!

The Library will be hosting a series of programs on the “Symphony of the Soil” video.

May 28, 6 p.m.  Greenhorns (Documentary movie) and a Seed and Plant exchange (share your stuff!)
The Greenhorns documentary film, completed after almost 3 years in production, explores the lives of America’s young farming community- its’ spirit, practices, and needs. It is the filmmaker’s hope that by broadcasting the stories and voices of these young farmers, we can build the case for those considering a career in agriculture- to embolden them, to entice them, and recruit them into farming.

The VFW will present a ‘White Table Ceremony’ honoring our veterans who have given, and continue to give, their all for our country.

The reason for this ceremony is to acknowledge the inability of our missing to be with us in the celebrations we hold, because they have been left behind, and to honor their sacrifice for this country. This is a very moving ceremony and has been known to spark interest in people who never realized the scope of this issue.

The ceremony will take place on Tuesday, May 28 from 10:30 a.m. until noon. The public is invited to attend.

The Library will be closed on Wednesday, May 29 for staff training. The Library will reopen on Thursday, May 30 at 10:00 a.m.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
