Celebrate National Library Week, April 15-21

It's about that time once again for National Library Week festivities at the STDL. Our National Library Week kick-off is on Sunday, April 15th. Stop by the library for some movies, games, and entertainment. Last year's big top theme was a big hit, and all are welcome to celebrate old-Hollywood style with us this year!

There will be chances to win prizes and we'll also be giving away various freebies. You can take our National Library Week Survey and be entered in a drawing for a $25 gift card--just for sharing your thoughts on the library.
