Children's Programs

The Children's Story Hour is open to children who haven't yet entered first grade. It is held Wednesday mornings from 10:45 until 11:30 in the Children's Library. From time to time, because of special events at the Library, this program may be postponed. Please check the News page to see if there are updates for this week. Participating children must be accompanied by an adult. Registration is not required, except during the weeks of Summer Reading Club.

The Summer Reading Club is open to children entering Kindergarten through grade four. It lasts for six weeks, starting in late June, and meets every Tuesday morning. This group features paid performers, crafts, and fun activities with books, all highlighting a special summer-long theme. Registration is required. Further details will be available at registration. Please keep a sharp eye on the News page to find out when registration starts; some age groups fill up very quickly.

Adult Programs

The Let's Talk Books group meets at 11:30 AM on the first Monday of each month to discuss anything and everything connected to books. If the first Monday is a holiday on which we're closed, the group will probably meet on the second Monday. Please call the Library or email us to find out for certain.

The Mystery Book Club meets at 1:00 PM on the last Tuesday of each month to share the secrets of the best whodunnits.

If you have ideas for other programs, please let us know.

Book Sales and Book Donations


We are currently able to accept donations on Tuesdays only, from 10 am to 4 pm. Thank you!
The Library holds mammoth book sales at least twice a year, usually in the Spring and Fall, and has a smaller, ongoing book sale year-round. To receive an email reminder when we schedule a book sale, please email us.

The sales, run entirely by volunteers, contribute greatly to funding our programs.

We welcome donations of high quality books, CD's, DVD's and videotapes in good condition. Coffee-table books and art volumes are in particularly high demand.

If you have only a few books - one box or bag, or fewer - to donate, you may bring them to the Library to drop them off. If you have more, please call or email us first. Our building is very small, and sometimes we cannot accept large donations.

We ask you to understand that we cannot accept books in poor condition, books that have been defaced or underlined, textbooks, old travel books, outdated computer books, encyclopedias or condensed books. No one buys these items, and we are forced to throw them away. Since we must pay for our trash removal, we lose money we can ill-afford when you leave us unsaleable items. Thank you for understanding!

Special Speakers

From time to time we schedule evening programs with special speakers. We'll post here and on the News page when something is scheduled. If you'd like a reminder email when we update our schedule, please email us. Otherwise, please keep checking back.

All events are held at the Library. Admission is free, though donations are gratefully accepted.

We thank all our past speakers for sharing their time with us.
