Out of an abundance of caution for the forecasted heavy snowfall, the Library will be closed this Saturday 1/24 for the safety of our patrons and staff. You can still enjoy the library from home! Access our digital library anytime with eBooks and eAudiobooks on Libby and Blackstone Unlimited

Update: USD262 Valley Center has cancelled school for Monday 1/26, therefore the Library will also be closed.

Fines for overdue items will be adjusted as needed.
