I Geek Eyes
As an Ophthalmologist, I geek eyes, especially healthy eyes. Healthy vision is a significant concern in our country. Did you know that 14 million Americans aged 12 years and older have self-reported visual impairment?
I'm passionate about helping people achieve and maintain healthy vision. The people I care for come from all walks of life, various ages, with a variety of eye concerns. They rely on me to help improve their vision, which ultimately improves their quality of life. Fortunately, I am also passionate about reading, researching and learning. I enjoy discovering new technologies and treatments that will help people see the world in a new way. The library, and all of its resources, have been a great asset to me, my family, and my patients.
-Dr. Sensoli
Whatever you geek, fun or serious, the public library supports you. Get your geek on. Show your support.

Farm Fresh Film Series | Forks Over Knives
 Join us at dusk for a unique movie going experience-films on the farm! We will present Forks Over Knives , a feature film that examines the profound claim that most, if not all, of the degenerative diseases that afflict us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting our present menu of animal-based and processed foods. The film traces the personal journeys of a pair of pioneering yet under-appreciated researchers, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn. Bring a blanket or lawn chair and enjoy a great outdoor adventure.

Our job is much more than giving people access to information. What we do not only transforms lives, but it also helps improve the entire community. One of the most important roles we play right now is getting people back to work. When the unemployment rate rises, job seekers depend on the public library for support. Without our job-related services and resources, many active job seekers wouldn't have anywhere to go. Now, more than ever, our community needs the public library, and we need your support!
