Join us at the library this week for one or more of these exciting programs! Our Friends’ Book Store is always full of materials for sale if you missed last weekend’s event. 

Come and check out some books, download an e-book, read the newspaper, check out a magazine, visit story time, watch a movie or meet some friends on the playground. The Dunedin Public Library is a wonderful learning community that is free to everybody.

See you soon!
