The holiday season is a magical time of the year, a time when families gather, slow down, and look for comforting stories to enjoy together. This holiday season, check out Tinsel Town on Kanopy!

Brimming with charm, humor, and heartfelt holiday chaos, this feel-good British Christmas comedy is the perfect pick for a holiday movie night.  

We are so grateful for your generous donations toward the
restoration of the “more than century-old wood floors” here at the library.

We could not have done it without YOU!

It was lovely to see some of our donors in person last Saturday! For those of you who were unable to join us please feel free to stop by the library any time to see our beautifully restored floors, check out a book or just to visit.

What is low stimulation TV?

“In a world where children’s television is often fast-paced, loud, and bursting with flashing colors, many parents and caregivers are beginning to ask: Is all this stimulation healthy? Enter low stimulation TV: a growing genre of children’s programming designed to soothe and engage rather than excite and overwhelm while incorporating an educational component.” – overdrive.com

Happy Streaming!
