Join us as we celebrate National Library Week, an annual celebration of the role libraries play in transforming lives and communities. We continually add to our collections, services, and program offerings so that we can ensure we are meeting the core needs of our community. Whether you are discovering a new DIY at a craft program, learning software skills with Lynda.com, or exploring products to compare on ConsumerReports.org, there are a number of ways that we are cultivating curiosity. This week, we invite you to visit the Library to see what’s new. Ask a staff member about the many services we have to offer, or check out our 24/7 Library at greenhillslibrary.org.
