NEW!
Now holding new DVD releases!
If you like reserving older DVDs, you’ll love being able to reserve NEW DVDS! You may reserve up to 2 new DVDs, which will be held for you until closing the next day. (If a DVD is reserved on Saturday, it will be held until Monday night). No more racing to the library to try to catch the latest releases – just get your name on the reserve list and wait for our call letting you know it’s here!
NEW!
Teacher Accounts
Starting February 26, 2014, teacher accounts will no longer accrue fines. Since materials are checked out for students’ use in the classroom and for teacher enrichment, the library will no longer be assessing fines on materials borrowed. The cost of any damaged or lost items, plus processing or collection agency fees, will continue to be charged to teacher accounts. We hope this is helpful to our teachers and homeschoolers.
SPECIAL EVENTS
Children’s Author Visits Library
Bring your family to meet children’s nonfiction author Mary Kay Carson on Tuesday, March 4 at 7 pm. She will have a different presentation from her talk at school. As an added bonus, you will be able to purchase her books and have them signed while she visits the library.

Civilian Conservation Corps
Do you have a relative who was part of the Civilian Conservation Corps? Also known as “The Dollar a Day Boys”, these young men constructed and upgraded many state and national parks, as well as participating in other public projects from 1933-1942. This provided jobs to millions of unemployed youth during the Great Depression era. Bill Jamerson will be portraying an entertaining and informative look at life through the eyes of a CCC worker. We are fortunate to have Mr. Jamerson here Friday, Mar.14 at 1 pm. Teacher and home schoolers: this would make an excellent American History lesson tie-in. To see what the Civilian Conservation Corps was all about, view this Iowa Public Television video, featuring Mr. Jamerson:
