Celebrate National Library Week
National Library Week is April 9 - 15. Today's libraries are transforming. For education, jobs, or lifelong learning, the resources at your library can transform your life. Whether you want to get involved in your community, find a job, start a business, or build your digital literacy skills, your library is the key to your transformation. Visit any MCPL branch and find out how.
Closing for Refresh Projects
The Quince Orchard and the White Oak branches will close on Saturday, April 15, at 6 PM. They will be open that day from 10 AM to 6 PM. Both branches will be closed for approximately six months so the facilities can be refreshed.
