Upcoming Events

The library is looking for talented artists to design a book related, colorful poster to celebrate our Summer Reading Theme: Color Our World.  Designs are encouraged to promote reading, libraries and/or books.  

Every artist will receive a special treat at the front desk when they drop off their masterpiece. Poster paper is available for pick up at the front desk. All entries will be displayed at the May 2025 Annual Meeting and used for Summer Reading decor. Please submit artwork no later than May 5 to be included.

Join David Whetstone, whose father accepted a call from Harold Maxwell, General Superintendent and electrical expert overseeing the huge Table Rock dam building over a four-year period.  David was in the fifth grade in 1954 and has fond memories of his family's involvement in the massive building project.  Now retired from a career in aviation supporting wide global travel, David will share his memories for a dynamic presentation to spark your interest in our local community's history.
