It's a little loud in the library today, since our windows are getting replaced. But we've got noise-canceling headphones to check out and foam earplugs you can keep, so don't let that keep you from getting what you need!

We stand in support of Indigenous authors. On this Indigenous People's Day, we are shocked that a Texas county has mandated a children's history book about the mistreatment of the Wampanoag nation be moved from the nonfiction section to fiction.
