Outreach

We bring the library to you!

We offer outreach programs and services to connect with our community, wherever they are. From visits to schools, daycares and local organizations to attending community events, we work to make the library accessible to everyone.

Our outreach focuses on building relationships with underserved communities who may experience a variety of barriers and challenges that prevent them from visiting our physical location and participating in traditional services.
