Maker Meet Up
 During the library's Maker Meet Up on Monday, May 20th at 6:00 p.m., you will have the opportunity to meet with other local creatives. Hosted by Austin Olney, our Digital Media Specialist, the purpose of the event is to bridge new connections in the community. Attendees are encouraged to share a STEM-related project they may be working on, and bring it in if possible. No project? No problem. Stop by and introduce yourself! No registration is required for this "drop-in" style of event.

New Furniture
 After years of daily use, some of the furniture in the Trove and the Edge needs to be replaced. Every month, thousands of young people use these two areas—and it shows. "We're a victim of our own success," said Brian Kenney, Library Director.
We think wear and tear is a good thing because it shows young people are connected to the Library. Let’s keep them coming back. Please help the Foundation raise $15,000 (by June 30) to buy bright, new seating that will refresh the Trove and the Edge for the next generation of Library users. DONATE today.
