Woody, is that you?

The library woodpecker has returned. Spring is around the corner!! For several years (at least since the mid-90s), there has been a woodpecker that comes to visit the library. While he is probably not the same woodpecker, at least one bird comes each and every year. To watch video of the woodpecker, visit our video player on the Northwest Branch website.  

Come to Volunteer Orientation!

Do you want to volunteer at the library? Do you have a hard time finding your way around our library? If you answered yes to either, I recommend coming to Volunteer Orientation. Volunteer Orientation is held on Thursdays at 4 pm. The orientation gives a detailed tour of the library and explains some of the inner workings of our branch. It’s like having a free tour guide show you around a (very) local monument!

As always, please ask your librarian for help!
