If any child received a canvas and paint set in their summer reading goodie bag and would like to display their artwork in the Children’s room, please bring it (along with the easel) to Miss Beth at the Reference Desk. Make sure your name & phone number are on the back so it can be returned to you.
The library has multiple copies of books for St. Aidan’s summer reading. They are on carts in the main reading room, with signs designating grade.
If you’ve borrowed a museum pass, we ask that it be returned in the library by 10am on the due date to ensure timely pick up for the next patron on the waiting list. If you wish to return the pass prior to the due date and the library is closed, please put in the book drop. We appreciate your cooperation.
The library is distributing Covid-19 self-test kits while supplies last.
