The library has a new book drop. You will find the book drop to your left before ascending the steps to the porch at the front entrance. You are welcome to leave books, books-on-tape, books-on-cd, videos, dvds and cds in the book drop. (Of course always bear in mind that some libraries require that you return their items directly to them). At this time, we request that no book donations be put in the drop box, please.

The new drop box was made possible by The Friends of the Library. The staff of the library cannot thank them enough for this wonderful, thoughtful gift. We're sure our patrons will be enormously thankful, too!
