Hello South Country Community,
We've changed our email format. After our introduction message, programs for each age group (Children, Teens, and Adults) appear as a list. Click on an age group for program details and registration, plus other library services.
General announcements (e.g. the local blood drive and tax notices) and trivia games will now appear after the Upcoming Programs & Activities section.
The library will be closed on Monday, February 15, in honor of Presidents' Day.
We hope you've had a chance to enjoy the snow!
