Winter Wonderlands at the Library!!


Wishing all of our patrons a Happy Holiday and hope that you will stop into the Library to see all the work we have been doing on our renovations!
You can curl up by the fireplace in the Reading Room with one of our new bestsellers!
Stay Warm!!

''Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.''

~ Robert Frost
