The United States Constitution turns 229 years old on September 17, so the weekend of September 16 through 17 is going to be Constitution weekend at the library! This is an election year... wouldn’t be a good idea to know how your government was designed to work? We’ll have a large print of the Constitution on display so you can read it up close and pocket versions for you to take with you.

September 25 through October 1 is Banned or Challenged Books Week. Stop by and be an outlaw with us! We’ll have a display of “read-stricted” books that could certainly be shameful and get you in a world of trouble if you get caught reading them in certain places.
