What's a Library For?

A library has always been about more than books, but now that's becoming both more obvious and more interesting. The obvious exceptions are the CDs and DVDs and popular magazines and computers. The interesting exceptions are the books for giveaway, books for sale, countless meetings that happen every week, outreach we do to a variety of community organizations, and the wealth of programs we offer every week. Did you know we have a teenagers' Writers' Group that meets every week? Or video games--like Dance Dance Revolution, Guitar Hero, and Rock Band--once a month on the big screen in the large meeting room? Or several public movies a week? Or storytimes for kids 0-3 (three times a week) and for kids 4--7 (three times a week)? Or arts and crafts activities (for kids grade 4--6) once a month? Or regular Scrabble games once a week? Or open philosophical discussion once a month? Or really good coffee and pastries (from Eddie's Coffee Shop downstairs) that you can carry (covered) throughout the Library?
So if you're looking for things to do--day or night--check us out and see if we have anything going on that tempts you. At the least you could have a latte and a muffin. See you at the Library.
