We have some exciting news... Registration for the Battle of the Books opens on Thursday, 3/1! If you are not familiar with this program, it is a double-elimination competition that requires teams of three to four students in grades four, five, or six to read books from a selected reading list. Teams are formed by the students themselves – team members may be in any of the three grades and may attend any local school (this includes our homeschool families!). Teams may split up the reading list however they choose.

The stained glass chandeliers on the mezzanine have been installed. Thanks to the amazing talents of Scott Ouderkirk, the chandeliers have been cleaned and repaired.

Hello all! Thanks to a generous grant from the North Country Library System, we were able to purchase some much-needed toys for our Children's Room! New toys include a mail box for letter writing, a magnetic board for learning about gears (which take it from me - those little things are addicting to play with!), and an awesome market play set. Our goal is to help library parents engage with their children in a way that supports early reading skills. Stop by and see our new selections soon!
