It is with heavy hearts that Treat Memorial Library staff announce the passing of our former director, Myra Rosenbaum. Myra served the library for many years with strength, intelligence, and creativity. We will deeply miss her support, friendship, and leadership, as well as her ability to make the library a more beautiful place with her talent for arts and crafts. Those wishing to donate to a garden memorial in her honor may do so at the library. We would like to thank our patrons for their support during this difficult time.

November marks the start of some exciting new changes at the library. We are passionate about providing equitable library access to ALL of our patrons, so Treat Memorial is going fine free! We will not be collecting fines and we will be waiving existing charges for overdue materials. Our fine free policy will apply ONLY to overdue items, there will still be fees for lost or damaged items attached to patron accounts.

We’ll be having our first Explorers Club meeting on Saturday, November 26 at 10:30 a.m. What’s Explorers Club, you ask? A space for kids to engage in imaginative STEAM activities, experiments, and challenges! Explorers Club is recommended for explorers ages 8 and up.
