Thanks to Overbrook Rotary!

We would like to thank Overbrook Rotary for the generous donation of the bench on the west side of the library. This is the first of several benches that will be donated by the Rotary.
 
It looks great and will provide a valuable place for people to wait for rides or just take a seat outside the building.
 
Next time you see a Rotarian, be sure to let them know you appreciate the bench.

Are you up for a Challenge?

Are you an avid reader? Think you can out-read the librarian? We’re tracking all of the books Kyle reads this summer (starting May 19th through our Friends of the Library Book Sale ending July 29th) and keeping a running list of books and page total up on the wall inside the west entrance.
 
Stop by and check out what Kyle has read recently. Or, if you’re tough enough, keep track of your own summer reading and see if you can out-read the librarian!
