A lovely illusion is created by the globe in my hand. It looks like I am holding a crystal ball, with books being the answer to my query.
A book can put a new world into your hands and head, and, sometimes, can turn your old world completely upside down. Anybody who is an avid reader knows the feeling of needing a few moments for transition when leaving a good book to engage with present realities. And we know the feeling of being shaken, awakened and transformed by new ideas and information when we read.
Check out something new at CFL, because a book in hand is better than two on the shelf!
We will be closed for Presidents Day on Monday, February 21, 2022.
State and Federal Tax Forms are available at CFL. Ask for them at the front desk, or give us a call.
CHILDREN’S PROGRAMS: Virtual Preschool Storytime happens Wednesdays at 10:30am. Join us!
We also invite you to check out the archive on our website to view one of the many virtual story times posted since April 2020. Scroll down the webpage for older content.
There are now new Preschool Take & Make Crafts available each week. Pick one (per child) up in the Children’s Room, or request them via curbside.
If you are finding yourself short on time, or you aren’t yet comfortable visiting the library with your little ones in person, please remember that curbside service is still very much an option! Just give us a call or send an email, and we will pack up your books, check them out, and hand them to you from the front door of CFL. Hope to see you there!
