Mission Statement:
The Pleasant Hill Library is dedicated to providing quality library services that meet the informational needs of all segments of the community in a welcoming, professional and courteous manner.


A great program for younger readers will begin in January! The BEAR (Be Excited about Reading) program will begin on January 3rd. Children ages preschool to 11 will receive a toy bear for signing up. After they complete their reading log, they will receive a free book. The books given to the children come from your donations to the library!

Attention teens: we need you! The library is looking for patrons ages 12-17 to form a Teen Advisory Board, to give input on everything from the books we get to the programs we put on. Our next meeting will be January 10 at 6:30 pm at the library, where discussion topics will include the upcoming Harry Potter party. Bring your friends and have a say-it's not too late to join!

The Library's Book Discussion Group needs you! The group chooses all of the books which will be discussed. It meets on the 4th Monday of each month at 7 p.m. The next meeting will be held on September 26th. If you are interested, the Library will supply the book for you.

MAKE AND TAKE AN ORNAMENT will be held on Sunday, Dec. 4th from 1-4 pm, at the Youth Center. Part of the Hill of Lights celebration, this annual event features ornaments for all ages to create and enjoy. Don’t miss this holiday favorite!

The library will be closed on Thursday, November 24th and Friday, November 25th. Have a great Thanksgiving!
