Other Ways to Support Your Library

Participate in programs. In addition to scheduled programs, the library generally has on-your-own in-library programs each week. Ask at the desk to see what we have!

Fill out our surveys. Did you know the library has a feedback survey on our website? We encourage suggestions of any type - whether you have a purchase request or a program suggestion, we would like to hear about it. Occasionally we will also send out specific feedback surveys.
