Experience the satisfaction of serving the community by joining our team!

The City's Brush Site is open! Due to the storm last night, there are many trees down throughout town. City crews are working to clear branches from the street right of way. Residents are encouraged to haul their limbs to the brush site at 3361 S 359th St; however, if you are unable to haul your limbs to the brush site, you can pile your branches next to the curb (not in the street) and the maintenance department will pick them up. Branches piled at the curb, do need to be cut into manageable pieces that are small enough for one person to handle. Residents living outside the city, can purchase an annual brush site permit for $25 at City Hall, to utilize the site. Please call city hall at 542-3622, if you have any questions.

We love when patrons share their talents with the community here at YOUR public library!

We are excited to announce construction will begin in August on a new restroom and covered picnic shelter at the Sports Complex. The shelter will be located between the basketball court and parking lot. It will feature two restrooms, a drinking fountain/water bottle filler and a covered area for 6 picnic tables. Funding for the picnic tables has been secured through the KDHE Waste Tire Recycling program grant.

Mark your calendars for the exciting Fall story time sessions!

We are thrilled when our patrons share their vacation memories with us, and especially when they showcase a library in the photo!

We enjoyed seeing so many people on Main Street for the parade tonight! Come back for Round 2 of the Sedgwick County Fair on Thursday!
