Are you in need of a space for serious group studying? During Finals Cafe, we invite high school students studying for finals to head to the library for brain boosting snacks throughout the day (while supplies last) and pizza at set times (see schedule). On Tuesday night, we invite students to destress with registered therapy dogs in the YS Activity Room from 6:30-7:30pm. Students are also welcome to bring their own snacks, within reason — nothing messy or excessively smelly.

As the caretakers of the books on our shelves, we take a thoughtful and deliberate approach to caring for the collection. One of the ways we do that is by carefully assessing each item on our shelves on an ongoing basis. This necessary, if unglamorous, task takes place in all public libraries. In fact, collection management is an important part of a public librarian’s education.
