The Unpredictables, Wednesday, May 21 at 6:30 pm. The Rutland High School Unpredictables (girls a cappella group), under the direction of Jen Hart, will be performing a medley of love songs. All are welcome and refreshments will be served.
Due to “dicey” roads and in light of Barstow Elementary having a snow day, the public library is CLOSED for this evening. After you shovel yourself out, stop by and visit us on Saturday between 9-1pm. Have a great evening and be safe!
In edition to books, audio books, and DVDs, you can now check out SEEDS!
Here is how it works: Come into the library and take what you need and/or donate seeds too. You then grow the fruits and vegetables, harvest the new seeds from the biggest and best, and return those seeds so the library can lend them out to others.
A special thanks to our sponsors!
