April 2026

Where Curiosity Comes to Light

Learning together throughout our lives.

For an infant, vision begins in the contrast between light and dark, shapes without detail, a world not yet filled in. Slowly, with time, care, and connection, that world expands into something richer, layered with meaning and possibility. At the library, we are honored to be part of that journey, helping our youngest learners and their grown-ups connect, explore, and discover.
 

Light the path to lifelong learning by reading with your little everyday.

“Did it get brighter in here?”

Actually, yes it did. The most recent upgrade to our library space is brand new lighting. This subtle change is truly night and day, putting your tax dollars (and some very helpful Menards rebates) to good use. The improved lighting brings an even greater level of accessibility, sustainability, and visibility to our collection, putting every item in the spotlight.
