During November, the library is celebrating several events and highlighting each with displays of books, movies, audiobooks and eBooks.

Near the checkout area is a display of books arranged by the QPL staff to highlight National Native American Heritage Month. It’s also a time to recognize and appreciate service members recognizing Veterans and Military Family Month.
