What we’re about
Hi everyone!
We're your friendly neighborhood librarians and we want to put together programs and events of all kinds, for all people! There are nine branches throughout the city, so wherever you are, there we are, too! Just recently, we have hosted a Death Doula, a Backyard Chicken expert, an Intro to Improv workshop, and an embroidery circle. Coming up, we will be hosting a guided meditation session, a birth doula, a true crime discussion group, and creating a community garden together. We're open to suggestions for what you want to see, so please message us here or call your local library.
