Good Afternoon! If you are trying to log onto your Libby account, the password is the last 4 digits of your phone number. Seems a lot of people are having the same issue.

Merry Christmas to all.

Thank you all who attended our “Keeping Seniors Safe Online” event that we had. It was a great turn out and we all learned about new ways seniors are being targeted for scams! If you missed this event we do have some “Scam awareness literature” at the library for you to browse. Thank you.
