The Community Library

We have encountered some issues with the Library phones. Earlier this week we were not receiving calls unless you let the phone ring for a very long time. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. We have a temporary solution in place but we will need to replace the phone system. The temporary solution does not have all the features we are accustom to so please have patience when calling. Please feel free to reach out by email at c0blib@@mvls.info

National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) is an annual writing program challenging aspiring authors to complete 50,000 words of a novel during the month of November. The Community Library is pleased to serve as a community partner with the NaNoWriMo organization and invites registered participants in this year’s challenge to join us at the library every Tuesday evening in the month of November. We have reserved our Lamont Community Room on the library’s second floor from 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm on Tuesdays for writers looking for a quiet, distraction-free place to write in the company of other authors.

The Community Library’s 2023 Summer Reading Program is off to an exciting start! We have a summer full of fun programs, special guests, reading challenges, and educational events for people of all ages.

Visit the circulation desk of the library to sign up for our summer reading challenge and keep track of your summer reading. Meeting reading goals earns participants free books, as well as raffle tickets that give you chances to win one of our valuable prize bundles. Attending library programs between July 5 and August 17 also earns participants raffle tickets.

Check out the links in the menu above to see more info about summer programs for each age group.
