Along with acknowledging presidents, Black history, bird feeding, and groundhogs, Feb. is also National Library Lovers month. What’s not to like? Looking for a quiet refuge to contemplate life’s great mysteries, pore over a newspaper or magazine, or research a complicated concept? Drop in, relax and if you need help, ask one of our terrific librarians.
Or perhaps you want to meet and mingle with like-minded folks: Join in on the discussions, classes and programs offered. Looking for inspiration? Not only does your library offer books, music and movies, but also art shows, theatrical productions and entertaining as well as enlightening presentations. Lucky us; let’s celebrate. For as Oscar Wilde said, “With freedom, books, flowers and the moon, who could not be happy?
