Tickets to the Pitman Garden Tour are now available at the library!  Tickets are $10 a piece.  The Garden Tour is June 12th from 11 am to 4 pm.  The rain date is June 13th at the same time. 

Starting May 19th, the McCowan Library will be operating without capacity restrictions.  This means the following for our patrons:

- Masks and social distancing will still be required inside the building.

- Our Craft and Story Time programs will continue to be held in Ballard Park for the summer.  In the case of inclement weather, the programs will be held inside in the Community Room.  Due to social distancing requirements, the library reserves the right to limit the number of people who can be in the Community Room on these occasions. 

- More seating will be made available to the public inside the building.

- Group meeting rooms will be available again.  Groups meeting in our Local History Room must be limited to 10 people or less.

- Curbside service will still be available to those who who do not wish to enter the building.  See below for more information.
