Among the topics covered are different art forms, the works of famous artists, special art collections of various museums, and how-to books. These books are a tribute to Mr. Vigliotti's memory as well as his fondness for our Library and his passion for learning and the arts.

Have You Noticed?

The entrance to Library was redesigned using money received from a grant from the McLean Contributionship. The project was recently completed and the changes are apparent when you enter the Library. By moving the two doorways from the lobby together, a whole corner of useable space was created. New shelving was installed to significantly expand the popular new book displays. New teen books are also now on display. Carpet was replaced and a new bench provides comfort for you to leisurely peruse the expanded biography, large print, and browsing collections. Click here to see a slide show of photographs documenting the renovation process.
