April showers bring May flowers… so what does May bring? At your library, May brings a flurry of activity, as we prepare our gardens, plan for the end of the school year, and participate in a wealth of celebrations—including Older Americans Month, Comic Book Day, Small Business Week and Mother's Day. We're also introducing some fun new ways to learn and explore. Check out the highlights! 

Nearly 32,000 people signed up for the 2016 Summer Break: Read, Learn, Explore program. It was a wonderful summer of reading, exploring new learning opportunities, and giving back to our community. Here are the results.

Planning a trip? Exploring new places can be a great way to expand your mind and learn new things, but sometimes exploring can take you to places that don't offer the connectivity that you need.

Here are three ways you can properly celebrate your freedom to explore without limits.
