A Successful Puzzle Tournament
      Our Jigsaw Puzzle Tournament was so popular last year that we decided to reprise it to accommodate even more participants this year. We had a full house for the event on February 15, welcoming 48 participants and several enthusiastic observers. 

      The event even caught the attention of AARP, which was so impressed that they are considering hosting their own. Thanks to the Friends for allowing us to make this such a memorable event! 

Spring Break Staycation
     The Spring Break Staycation was another hugely popular event in 2024, attracting thousands of patrons to the library for a series of activities designed to deliver fun to those choosing to spend their spring vacation at home. 

     While library programming has slowed due to the ongoing refresh, we are thrilled to announce plans for our 2025 Spring Break Staycation, happening April 7–11 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. each day. Three out of the five days will feature activities generously sponsored by the Friends of the Library, ensuring families have fun and engaging experiences during the break. Stay tuned for more details! 

     Thank-you to the Friends and to the community that supports them for your continued generosity. It is because of you that we can offer meaningful programs even during this transition. We appreciate all you do to help make our library a vibrant community space.
