Countdown to the New Year with the IPL!

Starting Friday, December 17th, join us as we count down to the New Year with 15 day-by-day resolutions to finish up 2021! Check back here each day and maybe you will find a new genre to read, try an audiobook, or download the Libby app for your smart device! Will you decide to finally learn French? Discover the world through our museum passes? Whatever you decide, we hope you’ll bring your new passions and interests into 2022!

BOOK CLUBS! – Find yourself reading and enjoying books but have no one to discuss that twist ending or that villainous character with? Well, one of our book clubs might be just right for you!
