Annual Book Sale

SCL’s annual August book sale is about to close.
Everything is FREE until Friday, September 5, 2014.

September is Library Card Sign-Up Month. To celebrate, the SCL is giving away FREE replacement library cards! The only thing we ask in return is for you to update your contact information.

Stop by today to update your account!

During September, present your SCL Library Card at the front desk and be entered into the Grand Prize Drawing! (Limit one daily entry per person, please).

Circle Time
Circle Time, or preschool story time,
will begin Wednesday, September 10 at 10:30 a.m. Register your preschooler online or at the library. Miss Stacey is getting ready for a FUN year!

You are your child’s first and most important teacher! Enjoy books together while your child develops skills that will prepare him/her to lean to read independently. Ask us how to get started!

Unattended Children Policy

The SCL requires a sign-in for every child that comes to the library without a parent or guardian. Children under 8 years of age must be accompanied by someone at least 16 years old. (Children under the age of 8 may not remain without a parent or guardian. We don’t want to be the bad guys that ask them to leave. Please find an after-school location for them.) The child must know the full name of a parent and the phone number where the parent may be reached in case of emergency. A full copy of the Unattended Children Policy is available at the front desk.

Position Available
The library is seeking a
responsible part-time employee
for evening (4pm - 7pm) and possible weekend (Saturday 9 - 5) hours. Maximum weekly time 10 - 20 hours. Students 16 and above that are not involved in after-school activities and adults may apply at the library.

Computer Lab
The new software is up and running in the computer lab. Patrons sign in using their library card number and your last name in lower case as your pin. The first time you log in, you must accept the library’s computer use policy, and then enter your library card number again. After the initial log in, all that is required is your library card and pin. When you log in, the system validates your identification through your library card.
