Drop in for a Summer Storytime or get your groove on at our Music & Fingerplay Storytime. Chill out at a Friday afternoon movie matinee. Teens are invited to make Gem Art and create Pressed Flower Crafts. Tap into your own storytelling power at our Creative Writing workshop with Mrs. Molly – she’s a published YA author!

Simon Winchester's supple, vigorous prose illuminates this dauntingly ambitious project--a seventy-year odyssey to create the grandfather of all word-books, the world's unrivalled uber-dictionary.
