Want to Get Involved in the Community? Join the Friends of the Maud Marks Library!

The Friends of the Maud Marks Library are having their open meeting this Monday, January 15 at 9:30 am (don't worry, we’ll open the front door even though the library is closed).  Come and meet other community-minded folks and help with activities at the library!   For example, you might like to help set up for the Friends Book Sales.  Proceeds benefit the Library and are used to purchase materials and pay for programs like the annual Summer Reading Program. 

We'll see you there!  

Happy (almost) New Year!

Even though schools are closed remember that the library is open!  Here at the Maud Marks Branch the only difference in our regular hours is that we close at 5 pm on Monday, December 31 and are closed on New Year's Day.  There are no programs when we're closed but we have plenty going on for the next couple of weeks including family movies at 2 pm on weekdays through Jan 7 and story times for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers.  You don't have to have a library card to attend programs or visit the library so feel free to bring your guests too!  Don't forget that we also have a variety of eBooks and eAudio materials that you can check out whether we're open or not; all you need is a library card.
