The library closes for the morning on the third Monday of every month - this month we close for the morning on October 19 but will reopen at 1pm.

"Movies at the Library" are back - every second Thursday @ 6pm. But there are a few changes to be aware of: no food, masks required, social distancing, maximum 12 people.

It's Waste Reduction Week! Let's try creating a game out of materials that would otherwise end up in the garbage or recycle. The possibilities are limited only by your creativity. Join us on Zoom (or book an in-person spot). Fri. Oct. 16 at 3:45pm.

Reading Connection for Adults today (Oct. 16) at 12:30pm: People & Poetry - We'll try our hand at writing some acrostic poems & share some poetry read alouds. Join us on Zoom or share in our private Facebook group (DVLibraries Adult Reading Connection).

Join up today! Head to the library website under Programs & Program Registration!

Have you gotten started yet? We're reading "Precious Cargo" by Craig Davidson for Non-Fiction Book Club this month. It's a light read, so it's not too late. Pick up your copy from the library today. We will meet on Zoom (or book your in-person spot) on Mon. Oct. 26 at 6pm.

Did you know you can come to the library to sew a face mask? Bookings are at 3:30pm on Mondays or 1:30pm on Fridays. Head to the program section of our website for more information.
