We are excited to host Mysterypalooza 2019: Paths to Publication presented by the Sisters in Crime Central Virginia at Libbie Mill Library this March!

With the weather in March so unpredictable, it is nice to have a few indoor activities ready to go for unexpectedly cold or windy days. While we always love to suggest a good book to read, sometimes it is more fun to watch a movie.

Next week is spring break and there is so much going on at the library! Here are just a few of the awesome events for kids and teens taking place next week.

Nearly two hundred years ago, the first permanent photograph was taken by Frenchman Joseph Niépce of the view outside his window. Today, during National Photography Month, we celebrate the advancement of the medium.

Amateurs and professionals alike can find photographic inspiration at the library. Read on to learn more about our photography workshops, how to check out equipment for in-library use, and our extensive photo book collection. Happy snapping to all the photographers out there!
