Join Us For National Library Week!

  • National Library Week 2024
     

On Wednesday, April 10, there'll be free breakfast and lunchtime fare at Jenkins. (Spoiler alert: it's more than just crackers and cheese.) And there'll be some Jenkins swag, as well, for those of you who successfully complete our Digital Escape Room Challenge: The Founders Folly.

And one more thing: we're designating Wednesday as Overdue Fines Amnesty Day. Just bring your overdue titles to Jenkins. We'll take 'em back and waive the fines, no questions asked.

See you on Wednesday, April 10, from 10:00 am - 2:00 pm.
