Last month, the Board of Trustees adopted the 2009/2010 Library budget. This year we are proposing a 1.98% increase ($5 more annually for a home with a market value of $500,000.)

In these trying economic times, your library remains a great value. Where else can you rent DVDs and video games for free? We offer a myriad of programs: concerts, lectures, movies, exercise classes and children's story times. In response to the economic crisis, the Library now offers free career coaching and we are in the process of developing a Career Center.
