It does offer a variety of services to the public and showcases local artwork. Today is May 4 (May the Force be with you for those who don't know Star Wars lore). The librarians had an entire art board (featuring Yoda) and a giveaway for Star Wars media. Way to be in touch Librarians! Way to channel Jocasta Nu, Jedi Chief Librarian!
