Sassy Quilters & Friends Beautify the Library Grounds The Sassy Quilters and Friends of the Library members planted flowers in the Library's front lawn Thursday evening.  They developed a pinwheel block pattern, bought flowers to fit the design, and cleaned, plowed, planted and mulched the whole bed. Think of these wonderful ladies as you watch the beauty of this "blooming quilt block" unfold as the flowers grow in the coming weeks! Thank you, ladies!    Click here to see more photos.

Happy Birthday to one of our favorite regular visitors! On the occasion of her 10th birthday, Annie visited the library in her matching birthday ribbons, scarf, and painted claws.  A vision in yellow, Annie was fresh from a special birthday visit to a "spa" looking rested, energetic, and far younger than her 10 dog years.

	Bring your library card to log on ... You no longer have to come up to the circulation desk to check out time on a computer at the library. Now you can simply sit down at an available computer and log in with the barcode on your library card and your PIN (usually the last 4 numbers of your phone number). If you don't have a library card and want to use the library's computers, now is the time to get one! Ask about our new keychain cards!
