BIG NEWS!

The Library will be open during the Sangamon Co. Fair this year!

We are usually closed during the fair but we decided to give it a try this year and stay open.

If you like that we are open, please stop by and let us know!

This will let us know if staying open will continue going forward.

Please take a couple of minutes to complete our library survey. We are collecting information to make sure we are meeting our community's needs. Anyone can complete the survey, you don't have to be a current patron. See the Library Survey link below.

Thank you :)
