Declare your independence and come down to the Library.




In the spirit of July 4th and Independence Day, you should make a declaration to come down to the Library. Come down and proclaim your freedom. Yes, come down and declare your independence

At this point you may be saying to yourself, what the heck is he talking about? Has he been shelving books so long that he’s been reduced to a babbling, drooling psychotic? Well that may be true, but I know what I am talking about.

The Library is a place where you can crack the bonds of ignorance and empower yourself with knowledge. If you have questions and need answers, the Library is the place to go. Unleash your curiosity and find the answers to your questions.

Whether it is through books, periodicals, DVDs, CDS, abstracts or computers, your freedom awaits you at the Library. So come down and break free of the tyranny of the unknown and declare your independence. You can find the answers yourself and if you’re having some problems, with a little help from your friends at the Library, we’ll make sure you’re on your way.

While our June was power-packed with Summer Reading, we don’t take a break. We’ve still got plenty going on in July. From chess to sports to zumba to movies and book chats and recipe swaps.

We’re just overflowing with activities! Come down to the Library in July and I’m sure that we’ll be able to find something that you’ll enjoy. And if not, let us know and we’ll see what we can do.

Here’s a list of our July activities:
