The artist featured was Nancy? The paintings were colorful and bright. Our 1 yr old grandson especially liked an aquatic theme painting. Many of the paintings have a price tag and are for sale. The Children's play area was a little cramped but offered many choices. Felt a little enclosed by massive stacks but still a nice area. book selection for toddlers was very good.

They also have a notary service, which was very convenient for me when I needed something notarized in a pinch. The only slight issue is the parking.....the lot is small and fills up fast, so chances are you may have to park across the street. But that is such a minor detail. Everything else about this library is top notch!

Maybe it's just a matter of letting them get to know that you're sane, and don't mean any harm, over time. I wish they had more options for fun classes and events! It's probably just slow because of covid.

Since the library was housed in the school, the library was only open during school hours and closed during the Former Middle School summer months. In 1937 the Library Board voted to keep the library open all summer. Library hours were extended into the evening hours in the 1940's, and in the 1950's to include Saturday's. The first children's hour was held in 1937, and is still a tradition we continue to this day. In 1964 a bond issue funded the building of the current library, located at 700 Lincoln Avenue. The library housed 54,000 volumes in 1969 when the building was dedicated.
