Your Local Library

Just a reminder that our local library not only has books but much, much more.  Computers are available for your guests to check their e-mail while they are on the road or to research those long lost relatives.  If you haven’t met our new librarian yet, stop by and say hello to Ben Bell.  He’s very enthusiastic about making our library even better, and his staff is ready to help with your requests as best they can.
