Introducing Friends Quick Picks!
Thanks to a generous gift from the Friends, we’re excited to introduce a new collection of best-seller books to the library. These Quick Picks are some of the hottest new titles, and have a 2-week loan period. There are no holds and no renewals, so books can get to the next person that much faster!
Look for the Friends Quick Picks near the New Fiction section at the library!
