    We want to share some important news regarding how We want to share some important news regarding how our library purchases books: Baker & Taylor, a major book distributor that's been in business for almost 200 years, will be closing soon. This shift is also affecting libraries across the country.⁠

⁠
What we're doing right now:⁠
▪️ We’re exploring new book vendors to keep your favorite reads coming.⁠
