Cook Library Center

Friday, April 4, 2025 |
Volunteers will help refresh our library space by moving books, shifting bookshelves, and rearranging furniture. As a small library center, this will involve removing books from shelves, relocating empty shelves, and resetting the space for a fresh new layout. Thankfully, the move is within a short distance, but every helping hand makes a difference! Be part of this effort to improve the Cook library space! |
