Moving: A Book List for Young Children

Here at the library, we have spent the last few months gearing up to move into our new addition! After moving everything over during two weeks in October, we are now open in our new space. You can find out more about our expansion project and timeline on our website or by following us on Facebook @eagerfreepubliclibrary.
