Stamp Out Hunger — Join the Effort! We are accepting donations through May 8th!

The Library is proud to serve as a drop-off site for the annual food drive led by the National Association of Letter Carriers and United Way. Together, we can help make sure no neighbor goes without.

Simply bring your nonperishable food items and place them in the collection bins located at BOTH library entrances — quick, easy, and impactful.

Let’s rally as a community to stock local shelves and support those who need it most. Every can, every box, every act of kindness makes a difference.

🌸 May is blooming—and so are the fresh programs at your library!

Ease into the week with gentle movement and mindful breathing through Chair Yoga, then find connection and purpose at Friends of the Library—where uplifting your community feels like becoming part of a family. Wrap up the evening with ELS alongside our own Library Technician Melvin, who makes refining your English skills fun, approachable, and a great way to meet new friends.
