Many Colors of Books Bingo Game
There is still plenty of time to sign up for the Adult Summer Reading Game this year. To join the Many Colors of Books Bingo, grab a packet at the Information desk along with a Bingo board. All you have to do is read a book in one of the color categories. There are nine colors: Red, Orange, Yellow/Gold, Green, Blue, Purple, White, Black, and Brown. Books that have that color cover, have that color in the title, or have that color in the name of the author count towards that category. You can also sign up online here. The Summer Reading Game will run until August 29th.
FamilySearch-New Free Historical Records
Did you know that you can research your family’s history in the library?
Through the FamilySearch database in our Online Resource webpage you can search a huge archive of historical documents and make your own family tree. You can gain access through the library’s computers, make an account and start researching!
FamilySearch expanded its free online collections in June 2025, with more than 30 million new records from 8 countries. Some of the exciting new additions include 16 million Italian birth, marriage, and death records (civil registrations, 1804 to 1943), 5 million Brazil cemetery records (1799 to 2024), and nearly 1 million records from the American Medical Association (AMA) of deceased physicians (1864 to 1968). Other countries with significant record additions in June include the following: Belgium, Colombia, Ecuador, France, Ukraine.
The Elevator Will Be Out of Service Starting on Monday, July 21st
The elevator company has projected a six-week long repair, at which time our main elevator will be completely out of service. If you’d like to access the upper and lower levels of the library, you will have to use the stairs. We will have large carts available in the New Books Room (on your left when you enter through the front door) with a selection of books from adult fiction and adult non-fiction. If you are unable to use the stairs, please alert a staff member and we will be more than happy to grab an item for you. Please note that the Children’s Room elevator will still be in service.
Thank you for your understanding.
