Adult Online Programs
Our Virtual Programs on Zoom have been so popular that we have expanded our capacity for registrations! Registration is required for these programs provided by professional performers and presenters and not all are available afterwards on recording, so sign up and plan to view them live. As the state plans to enter Phase 3, the library has been working diligently on plans for resuming any physical services that could be safely offered to our patrons. We will communicate the library’s plans in the weekly E-News and on the library’s website as soon as they are finalized and approved by the Library Board of Trustees.
