💡You may have noticed we’ve got some activity going on outside of the TPL Main Library this morning…. Our historic sconces are getting a much needed restoration to their original finish!

Thank you to our anonymous donor for funding the sconces restoration project, and to TAP, Inc. for their expertise and dedicated involvement in this project as well as helping us restore our historic downtown location.

It’s the little things! Stay tuned to see a final reveal of the restored sconces!

For October we will be using Keva Planks!

We are pleased to partner with TeachMyKidtoRead to offer free decodable books at Main while supplies last.
