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!

Every six years, a million people walk through the library doors and a million books go out the doors. Our millionth checkout since July 2010 was Patricia Southcott. She won a gift basket with a Kindle Fire, $100 Amazon Gift card bookmark, courtesy of the Friends group, a Flower Library blanket, tea, cocoa and lots of books.

We're making some changes and we need your help! Are you a tween (ages 10-13) or caregiver of a tween? Let us know what you'd like to see the library provide for you!

Our library is proud to announce that the winners of our local Battle of the Books 2016 competition are the Nerds! This was a bittersweet victory as this was the last year that the returning champs were eligible to compete.

I'd also like to thank all of our participants and their families--I was blown away not only by how well you knew the books, but with how well you treated one another by being great sports. I walked away this year excited about leading you and already looking forward to the next year. My teams are rock stars!

There are forms at the circulation desk that make it quick and easy to donate. Simply ask for one of the forms, check a box or two, then mail or return the envelope to the library with your tax deductible donation.
