Having the Construction Manager in place will help us achieve our goal of breaking ground in spring of 2024!
 
Quinn Evans has completed the Schematic Design for the building, and we will be moving on to more details on the exterior and interior, using the feedback that the library received from the New Library Town Hall meeting in August. 
 
Visit the Reimagine Your Library page on our website to stay up to date with the latest information as planning progresses.
 
 
It's cold outside, so cozy up with a new book!
Murder at Midnight
by Katharine Schellman

While spending a quiet Christmastime away from London with the family of her late husband, regency widow Lily Adler, when an unexpected snowstorm, stranding the neighborhood families together, leads to murder, must unmask a killer among the guests who is linked to her friend's scandalous sister.
The Hive and the Honey : stories
by Paul Yoon

A boy searches for his father, a prison guard on Sakhalin Island. In Barcelona, a woman is tasked with spying on a prizefighter who may or may not be her estranged son. A samurai escorts an orphan to his countrymen in the Edo Period. A formerly incarcerated man starts a new life in a small town in upstate New York and attempts to build a family. The Hive and the Honey is a bold and indelible collection by celebrated author Paul Yoon, one that portrays the vastness and complexity of diasporic communities, with each story bringing to light the knotty inheritances of their characters.
The Book of Wilding : a practical guide to rewilding big and small
by Isabella Tree

The Book of Wilding is a handbook for how we can all help restore nature. It is ambitious, visionary and pragmatic. The book has grown out of Isabella and Charlie's mission to help rewild Britain, Europe and the rest of the world by sharing knowledge from their pioneering project at Knepp in Sussex. It is inspired by the requests they receive from people wanting to learn how to rewild everything from unprofitable farms, landed estates and rivers, to ponds, allotments, churchyards, urban parks, gardens, window boxes and public spaces.
