Expanded Library Hours! Starting July 7th.
We are excited to announce the normalization and expansion of our hours! Starting Monday, July 7th, we will be open from 10am - 6pm, Monday - Saturday. No longer do you have to juggle different start and end times. While we will no longer be open until 7pm Tuesday - Thrusday, we are gaining three extra hours of library serivce by adding two more hours on Monday, Friday, and Saturday. We hope this will make the library easier to use for everyone.
Summer Reading Programs Start June 9th

However, this year, you get to pick a reading type that lines up with one of five fantasy-game roles. Do you read like a fighter, wizard, cleric, bard, or rogue? Find out which class fits you best and take on that unique reading challenge! Adult sign-ups begin in June. Youth can sign up for their SRP right now!

Creswell Library Foundation - We need members!
We are looking for new members for the Creswell Public Library Foundation! This foundation is an important fundraising arm of the library and was the original driving force for our little library. But now the foundation is in need of new members. If you are interested in helping our library continue to thrive but aren't able to volunteer more than once or twice a month, this is a great way to help out. Contact Nick at nick@creswell-library.org to learn more!
