The Bailey Library has evolved into an active destination for arts and cultural programs, hands on workshops, gathering spaces, and makerspaces. We encourage community members to share ideas, join events, and take part in the many opportunities the library offers.
Local organizations benefit from access to meeting rooms, presentation spaces, and collaborative environments that support learning, creativity, and community engagement. The library also provides space for community conversations, creative projects, and shared experiences that bring people together.
Community support makes these opportunities possible. If you value what the library brings to the community, please consider making a donation to the Foundation to help sustain and strengthen these efforts.
Thank you for being part of the library! We look forward to welcoming you and helping you make the most of everything available.
Under strong leadership and with a creative, dedicated staff, the library continues to grow as a community hub for learning, connection, and fun for all ages. Partnerships with local schools have expanded, bringing library resources into classrooms and welcoming students into the library.
Children and families enjoy a wide range of engaging programs and events, along with outdoor experiences like StoryWalks. Teen offerings continue to expand with activities that support creativity and connection.
Adults can take part in book groups and music gatherings that build community and shared interests. In addition to books, the library now lends tools, outdoor gear, and activity kits, making it a practical resource for everyday needs.
As these services continue to grow, so does the need for support. Donations help sustain and expand the programs, collections, and resources the community relies on. The library remains a dynamic space designed to serve and inspire everyone.
