  • Resources for Learning & Skill-Building
    Winter’s a great time to focus on personal growth, and the library’s resources—from educational workshops to career-building tools—are here to help. Check out JobNow by Brainfuse, genealogy research with Archives staff, or online learning platforms to kickstart a new hobby or goal.

    The library’s shelves are stocked with winter must-reads for all ages, and the eLibrary offers access to eBooks, audiobooks, magazines, and more through Libby, hoopla, and Kanopy. It’s the perfect season to cozy up with a new story.

  • Library Holiday Traditions
    Each year, the library celebrates the season with unique decorations, holiday-themed displays, and library card designs that make each visit festive and fun. Come see what’s new this year!
