We live in a time of constant noise, pressure, and disconnection. Many are weary—longing for rest, meaning, and a deeper sense of belonging. Wellbeing Hours respond to that need by weaving together spiritual formation, creative expression, mental health practices, and embodied rhythms of wellbeing. These gatherings offer accessible pathways toward healing, clarity, and joy—not as quick fixes, but as practices that nurture wholeness for both individuals and communities. We believe this kind of integration is exactly what today’s generation is longing for.

Were you raised on the library’s summer reading program and wish it had lasted all year? Ready to stretch your reading wings? The library has you covered!

The library is hosting a reading challenge, and there is a prize at the end of the school year!

Read one book a month for eight months and turn in your reading list by April 30 to be entered into a drawing for a $50 gift card. Flyers, bookmarks, and reading suggestions are available in the IDEA space on the 2^nd floor of the library.
