As we begin a new year (Hi, 2025!) it’s wonderful to reflect on all the fun we’ve had at the Library this past year. You checked out all kinds of books, puzzles, movies, puppets and more.

For the curious among us, enjoy our top 10 checkout lists at MPL from 2024. Maybe you’ll find yourself a little somethin’ to check out in 2025.

All of us at the Library look forward to another year of exploring our materials, connecting and building community together!
