Welcome Messagebutterfly

from library director

Spring is here! 

This season tends to bring new growth, life, and endeavors. For the library and community, this spring also means our new Mobile Outreach Vehicle electric (MOVe) will soon be in operation! We intend to use the outreach vehicle to increase and expand our already excellent outreach efforts – including visiting schools, assisted living sites, and more. 

We will also continue to have many engaging programs and events at the library. Please consider signing up for our newsletter, following us on social media, or viewing our calendar here to stay up to date on current happenings in the library.   

Thank you for your ongoing support of the library! 

Charlene Williams

PGPL is a welcoming community space. In light of increased book challenges around the country, I would like to state that PGPL follows the American Library Association Bill of Rights. Libraries are a traditional forum for the open exchange of information. Attempts to restrict access to library materials violate the basic tenets of the Library Bill of Rights. We affirm the rights of individuals to form their own opinions about resources they choose to read, view, listen to, or otherwise access. The presence of books and other resources in a library does not indicate endorsement of their contents by the library.     Restricted Access to Library Materials: An Interpretation of the Library Bill of Rights (2014)
