Check out delightful author Mia Bolton at tonight (5/26) or tomorrow (5/27) to get a signed copy of her new book, As We Bloom. It's so popular here all our library copies are checked out! She stopped by our mural for a photoshoot anyway. 💙

Ever wonder what really goes on behind the scenes at your library — the secret life of books before they hit the shelves? Step beyond the stacks and into the heart of the action.
Join us for an open house adventure where you can peek behind the curtain, tour hidden spaces, watch how books get prepped for their big debut, meet the team, and see how we bring stories, services and resources to life. There’ll be hands on fun for all ages.
📚✨ Sunday, May 17, 1–4 p.m. at the Library
