We encourage you to celebrate a birthday, recognize an anniversary, or dedicate a day in someone's name.  Businesses can use this to celebrate an important day, and pets can be celebrated too!

Examples?

"Happy Retirement John Smith" Day

"Happy Birthday Susan Jones" Day

"In Memory of Scott Brown" Day

"Congratulations - 10 Years of Business to Susie's Flowers" Day

"Happy Birthday Fluffy, best cat ever" Day

A donation of $100 dedicates that individual day.

Calendars are open, you can schedule a day up to one year in advance.  If you have a day in mind, book early!

No.  There cannot be two dedications on the same day.  If you have a day in mind, book early!

If you provide contact information in advance, the library staff can notify your special person about the Book a Day and send the proclamation certificate.

If you prefer, you can notify that person in your own special way.  We will email you the proclamation certificate.

We are sorry, dedication days are not available when the library is closed for holidays.
