What draws people to the library? Everything! From books and digital resources and creative programming, libraries are essential to thriving communities.

National Library Week, April 6–12, 2025, is a time to celebrate the many ways libraries bring people together, spark imagination, and support lifelong learning.

At Legion Memorial Library, we invite the community to join the celebration!

Our library provides such as free Wi-Fi, digital collections, CLICK computer, tablet & phone help as well as a laptop borrowing program, Asahi Nordic Exercise, book clubs, paint nights, and children’s visits ensuring that everyone has access to resources that educate, inspire, and connect.

Whatever draws you in, the library has something for everyone. Our libraries serve as hubs for learning, creativity, and connection, helping people of all ages explore new ideas and opportunities.
