Our latest library “Geek” is Hannah! She loves reading in all forms: “I read on my phone and on my Kindle. I have tons of book shelves and I always get new books for Christmas. I love Half Price Books!” At the library, we are readers of all types and love to talk books! Stop in and browse our collection, peruse the displays, or sit and read a while. Reading happens at your library and in your community! Connecting with other readers is a treat.

Local certified health coach, Deb Rhoads, is hosting a series of “Light For My Path” discussions. These 20-minute talks are designed to provide food for thought for your mind, body, and spirit. Talks take place in the library meeting room on Thursdays at 1 p.m. Coming up on Jan. 28 Deb will present “Now or Later- Investing for Life.”
