It's National Library Week! The week kicks off with Right to Read Day which celebrates the freedom to read and learn. Our library is proud to support your right to read and your right to access information. If we don't have what you're looking for, we're happy to help you acquire it through MeLCat (supported in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services) or through InterLibrary Loan. Read what you want! Read what you need! We are here to help.
