This month we celebrate School Library Month which is to the dedicated professionals who build vibrant school libraries – essential hubs for literacy, research, and imagination.

📖 From fostering a love of reading to empowering students with research skills, school librarians play a vital role in their schools and communities. Their efforts ensure every student has access to the resources and guidance they need to thrive.

👏 Thank you to our school librarians and our members, for your passion and commitment!

Just wanted to share some more photos from our November book sale. Again, a huge thank you to all our volunteers who show up each and every time. We appreciate you more than you know and we could not do these sales without you.

Although it's late (we've been busy!), we'd like to post a huge THANK YOU to our teen volunteers from our November book sale, Joshua Core and Sherry and Leah. They worked so hard and made a real difference for our sale. We love having teens volunteer, we need their muscle! Teens assist with helping patrons get their book finds to their vehicles, help with boxing up and hauling out the left over books, setting up/tearing down the room. Its fun and a good way to get your community service hours in for school and college applications. Our next sale is in April if we have any teens that would like to help, just message us.

They're baack! Free romance paperbacks bags. So stop by the library and grab ONE. We do ask that you take only one bag so other patrons can have a chance. They were very popular last Spring.
