Ye Olde Book Shoppe Sale
09/26/20
Get Prepared for Winter!
Stop in at the library on Saturday morning, Sept. 26 from 9:00 - 12:00 and visit our book store. The back entrance into the bookstore will be open on this day. We have so many books to choose from. You can fill up a bag to take with you to be prepared for long, cold winter evenings. Books are not priced individually. We would appreciate a donation that will be used for our new Children's section in the library. Once the book sale is over, you can continue to access the book store by making an appointment with Lois Walton during regular library hours.
We are OPEN!

Updated for the new School Year Fall 2020
Check here for ideas to help in learning. Many resources are still available because publishers know that many children are still learning remotely. Please check back periodically as this will be updated to reflect what is free for you to use.
Discover Your Ancestors

Ancestry Library Edition available at home until December 31, 2020.
As a patron of WML, you can discover all about your ancestors online for free at ancestry.com. Normally, the only way to access this database is to be physically at the library. But of course, we all know that these are not normal times and we are very fortunate to be able to do our research at home. Please use the following url:
