We're celebrating our 40th Anniversary! The Library District began its first fiscal year on October 1, 1986. Since then, we've grown to 12 locations, serving patrons with spaces for learning, entertainment, and discovery.

Celebrate this milestone with a daylong event on Saturday, October 3, starting at 10 a.m. at the Headquarters Library, beginning with an official program and speaker. Throughout the day, patrons can participate in activities like Read with a Dog, do arts and crafts around the library, get a balloon creation from a balloon artist, and enjoy an icy treat on us. Don't forget to get your free commemorative tote bag and book at the event.
