February at the Library While February is the shortest month of the year, we are not short on fun events. From art to self improvement to tea and chocolate there is so much to experience at the library this month. Be sure to check out the events below. February is also time to take a Blind Date With a Book! Stop by our display at the front of the library and check out one of the wrapped books. We love hearing back from you about the date, so be sure to pop the questionnaire in the red mailbox after you finish the book! The library will be closed on Monday, Feb. 18th for Presidents Day.
