Are you interested in exhibiting your art work at the Library? The art is selected by a jury that meets twice a year (December and June). For information on materials required, please click here.

The Library now has available assisted hearing devices to be used for amplified programs in Druker Auditorium. If you would like to use one during a lecture in the auditorium, stop by the Circulation Desk with your Library card and check one out. Then turn the unit on, place the headset on your head and adjust the volume to your preference. Directly after the program, please turn off the headset to save the battery and return it to the Circulation Desk (before closing) so that someone else may borrow it. And please let us know how you like them.

 

The Library and New TV produce a monthly cable tv show called "At the Library". For more information on the show please click here.
