Nooks and Crannies Tours
Nooks and Crannies Tours are designed to give all library staff an opportunity to see sights not often seen, hear stories not often told. They usually take place during the lunch hour and are offered as professional enrichment to all Library staff members. Release time for tours is available with supervisory approval. Please arrive fifteen minutes early so that the tour can begin on time.

* As an off-shoot of the Nooks and Crannies, we're trying a Gastronomy Tour, where a local eatery is visited for dining and a little history. Depending on the success of the inaugural tour stop - Louis' Lunch - we'll schedule more lunch dates at other venerable/historic eateries around town. Tours will be scheduled around lunch time, meals are Dutch-treat (i.e. pay for your own food), and the proprietor or a local historian-type will talk about the restaurant's history while waiting for the food.
