We are saddened to inform you that after more than 20 years of service the Bookmobile will be discontinued effective June 28th. Budgetary constraints and the high cost of maintenance for the aging vehicle led to this decision. It is our goal to fill any gap created by the loss of the Bookmobile with existing Library programs and services.

The Bookmobile will continue to operate through the month of May. In June, it will accept only returned materials on its regular stops. The Bookmobile will no longer operate after June 28, 2012.


Renovations at Main Street Library Underway!

Main Street Library is undergoing renovations throughout May. The Second Floor of the Library will reopen May 24th. Please visit our Facebook and Press Room pages for detailed information.
