Honoring Our Veterans

Veterans Board

Each year in November, we display the Veterans Board in our Library lobby to highlight local veterans.  Bring in a photo of your favorite veteran to the Circulation Desk or Adult Reference Desk and fill out a quick form about the veteran.  We’ll display the picture on the Veterans Board.   The veteran highlighted may be yourself, a friend, or a family member who served in uniform.  The Veterans Board will be exhibited for the month of November, and the original photos will be available for pick-up at the Circulation Desk after December 1.

Click here to view the Veterans Video on the Library’s Facebook Page.

Please note that the Library will be closed on Saturday, November 11, 2023 in observance of Veterans Day.
