“Libraries are the heart of every community and our library helps our community thrive,” says Susie Sharp, Librarian “At our library, people of all backgrounds come together for community meetings, programs, to take computer classes, to do research with the assistance of the librarian, to get help finding a job or to find homework help, and to see local authors read from their books.
