Whether you stop by to grab the newest Dog Man book, meet up and chill with friends in our air-conditioned play area, or join us at a program, we gladly welcome you to the library this summer!

We’ve got a ton of free, flexible options for you. So many joyful storytimes and concerts for you and your littles. Want to help your grade schooler have fun and practice their social skills? Check out our specialty programs just for them. And if you’re juggling multiple age groups and developmental needs, our family programs provide meaningful and adaptable activities for every age and stage.

We can’t wait to celebrate our wonderfully diverse community at our fun-for-all-ages Family Pride Party and Pride storytimes. And, let’s mark our newest national holiday together at our kid-friendly Gather and Play: Juneteenth program.

Hope to see you soon!
