Libraries Connect Us

Libraries make a community, and communities make a library.

Have you made a plan for the future?

In August, we observe National Make-A-Will Month and partner with FreeWill, a trusted (and free) online tool that makes writing your will simple, secure, and doable. It takes just 20 minutes to gain long-term peace of mind by caring for the people and communities you love most.
