Welcome!
Don't miss Hilary Thayer Hamann reading and signing
Anthropology of an American Girl is my favorite book of 2010. This is a powerful, intense love story and a coming of age tale like no other. --Stef
"Hamann has put together a carefully devised, coherent world, filled with opinions that need to be spoken -- and heard."

Story Hour
Join us for story hour with Miss Tamara every Monday morning at 10:30!


We welcome kids of all ages at story hour, but kids aged 2-6 will probably get the most out of it. We read a few books and work on a simple, fun craft. Sometimes we sing songs or practice sign language. Anything could happen. No need to RSVP or sign up. We'll see you here!
