Welcome Back!

Library News

Soft Opening at Marshall School Monday, January 23, 9 a.m.

Welcome back!

I hope this message finds you well in the new year. We here at the library have been busy getting things ready to resume services at Marshall School, and we’re almost there! There are a few tweaks we’re still working out (such as getting the phones to work consistently and MeLCat up and running) but we’re close enough that we’ll be able to have a soft opening beginning Monday, January 23. You can check out and return items, fax/copy/print materials, use our computers, and more. We expect to be able to offer our full services again by February 1st, but until then please stop by and check out our new digs. We’ll be happy to show you around the public spaces and get caught up on what’s been going on.

All the best,
Jennifer
Director, Westland Library

Westland Seed Library

The Westland Seed Library is now open! Our seed library is a collection of seeds that are freely available to community members. You may borrow seeds to take home, grow, and enjoy, with the intention of saving seeds at the end of the growing season to return to the seed library for others to borrow next season. Stop by the library to check it out!
