Librarian's Corner


A resounding Thank You! to all of the sponsors, volunteers, and participants who helped us celebrate Summer Reading 2026: Stars, Stripes, & Stories. Our jam-packed summer featured history, magic, animals, music, stories, science, crafts – and books. Our mighty readers rose to the challenge, borrowing a record-breaking 2447 children’s books during July!

There’s still plenty to enjoy as summer winds down. Join Miss Carissa for Giggles & Wiggles on August 11 and 25 or turn a discarded book into a reading mascot at our Book Chicken Craft program. Drop in to our Chess Club on Monday evenings and enjoy a friendly game while you sharpen your skills. Share your gardening questions, successes, and samples at Let’s Talk Gardening or bring your current project to work on at our Craft & Chat group.

Please note the Library will be CLOSED the week of August 17 – 22 while our restrooms are renovated. Don’t worry that you’ll run out of books to read: you an stock up at our Library Friends’ Summer Book Sale on Saturday, August 15.

What Are We Reading This Month?

Book Discussion Thursday, August 13th @ 2 pm


The Great Divide
by Cristina Henriquez

Book Cover

A powerful novel about the construction of the Panama Canal. It is said that the canal will be the greatest feat of engineering in history. But first, it must be built. Searing and empathetic, this character-driven novel explores the intersecting lives of activists, fishmongers, laborers, journalists, neighbors, doctors, and soothsayers—those rarely acknowledged by history.

Book Discussion - Monday, August 31st @ 6 pm


Bone Valley
by Gilbert King

Book Cover

In 1987, Leo Schofield was arrested and charged with the murder of his wife. Over thirty years later, Gilbert King is tipped off to Leo's case and is astonished by what he found: layers of corruption, flawed evidence, and deep-seated errors. This is a chilling portrait of the criminal justice system, and a uniquely powerful story of grace and redemption.
