Current Happenings

Lobby work begins

Giving you service the way you want it – that's what the Main Library Lobby reconfiguration is about. Starting tomorrow, July 10, construction begins. The end result – expected in early August – will bring you a more customized library visit and a more functional space. Want the freedom to renew your own items, pay any fines and email yourself check-out receipts? You can do that. Want a friendly library staff member to be available to help you soon as you walk in the door? You can have that, too. Learn more about the lobby reconfiguration

Get cooking with Karyn

Interested in exploring raw food? Join us in the Main Library Veterans Room tonight at 7 pm as we welcome Karyn Calabrese – owner of a portfolio of restaurants including Karyn’s Raw and author of Soak Your Nuts: Karyn's Conscious Comfort Foods. Karyn will demonstrate the raw food preparation techniques that have put her on the map. Sample some of her favorite raw food dishes, and learn how you can recreate them at home. Copies of her book will be available for purchase following the demonstration and tasting.
