The library is holding a time capsule celebration on Tuesday, Sept. 8 at Noon. The staff will bury a container of memories in our courtyard. Stop by to reminisce with us — be a part of this historic moment.

Be here on Wednesday, Sept. 9, anytime between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. for Census Day at the Library. A representative from the regional Census 2020 office will be at the library to assist anyone with filling out the Census Form online. If you have not yet registered your household with the Census visit that day or anytime during regular library hours and we will assist you. This is important because the statistics are used to determine the amount of federal money that is received by our community and also the number of Congressional representatives allotted to each state. North Carolina is posed to gain a Congressional representative if we are successful in seeing that everyone is counted.
