Your guide to our programs and goings-on

What We’re Reading

Laurel Sproul started at MCL in

February 2017 as Branch Manager in

Arcadia. Laurel said, “I absolutely love

my job! “ and it sure shows! We are happy

to announce Laurel as our new Youth

Services Coordinator.

Look for Laurel to soon be leading fun and

educational kids programs throughout

the county, Laurel said “It's exciting to go

to work as each day is so different. The

best part is assisting patrons as they search

for books. I also enjoy the programs that

we do. The sewing and piano programs

are fun and the kids really get into the

story hour.”
