It contains the area’s bike paths and routes as well as locations of the region’s neighborhood, community, and regional parks! Or if your goal is to enjoy our fantastic outdoor pools next summer, take advantage of our winter discount and secure your 2017 Pool Pass.

Avoid the Summer Slide

Summer Reading at Schlow Library is for everyone !

Summer is a time of outdoor fun, but it also tends to be time when students slide backwards in the achievement gains they made during the school year. When school lets out this year, plan to sign up for Schlow Library’s Summer Reading Program to log your reading hours as a whole family and help your child stay on track for the next school year. To find out more about reading programs for toddlers through adults visit:
