Memorial week-end was the start of our summer schedule, Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. - 9 p.m. and Friday, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. We will be closed on Saturdays until the fall schedule starts after the Labor Day week-end.

The murder of Abraham Lincoln set off the greatest manhunt in American history -- the pursuit and capture of John Wilkes Booth. James Swanson's Manhunt: the Twelve-Day Chase for Lincoln's Killer, our selection for August, is a terrific hour-by-hour account of Lincoln's assassination, Booth's escape and pursuit by the military. Movies rights have been sold and it is expected to be an 2009 HBO movie. Join us for what will be a most interesting discussion of a terrific book.  Click here for a list of our upcoming selections.

The library offers a summer reading program for all ages from listeners through adults. Register for the program on June 12th or anytime between June 16th and July 18th.
