GET TO KNOW YOUR LIBRARY TOUR
SUN OCT 21ST 1:00PM - 2:00PM
We invite all new library cardholders, and those who have never had a tour for an overview of all that Curtis Library has to offer.
Join us for a 30+ minute tour of the library to learn more about its history, extensive collection, programs and services that you may not know about.
We'll tour the original 1904 Library, Nonfiction, Reference, Children's and Teen Libraries, the Morrell Meeting Room and Gallery, the Collaboratory, Lending Services and the Community Lobby. Whether new to the library or a regular, everyone who takes the tour comes away with some new knowledge of Curtis.
Tours meet in the Atrium at the cafe tables.
Tours take place monthly, the first Friday of the month at 10:00 AM, and the 3rd Sunday of the month at 1:00 PM. These informal but informative tours take about 30 minutes, depending upon questions encouraged along the way.
Location: all over the library

We were sad to hear the news of the passing of Todd H. Bol, the inspiring founder of the Little Free Library movement.
We hope other Little Free Library stewards will join us in placing a white or silver ribbon on your Little Free Library in honor of Todd and his vision to create thousands of libraries around the world.
