Your donation helps us purchase the most popular books and ebooks, funds fun programs for kids and teens, and allows us to bring interesting speakers to the library.

Latest Home Color Trends

One of the best ways to give your home a facelift is with a splash of paint. It is relatively inexpensive and many people like to do it themselves. After the prep of moving everything away from the walls, placing the painter’s tape, and wiping off any dust and cobwebs, it is something in which the entire family can often participate, depending on age and physical abilities. Read More.

Ticks, Pets and Humans

Now that the weather has settled a bit, it is time to get back to the outdoors. That means it is also time to be on the lookout for the deer tick. Most at risk are those who will travel in the same areas that deer like to enhabit. That includes hunters, fishers, pets, and anyone who likes to wander through the brush and usually off the marked paths. Read more.

Summer Cocktails

If you are a non-alcoholic person, this is not the article for you. Here are some cocktails that are especially nice in the warm weather. They feature tequila, vodka, rum, rye, and gin, separately, of course. Read More.
