New HCPL Website & Good-Byes

If you didn't know already, HCPL has a brand new website featuring loads more features and several topical blogs (everything from Teens to Movies to Audiobooks to Websites).


Because the new website allows more features, the Teen Zone blog will no longer be regularly updated. You can still check out our Freeman Library blog for program updates or you can e-mail me for a program calendar.

I've enjoyed creating this blog and working with our teen volunteers to bring Freeman teens news, updates, and reviews. I will miss it, but you can still check out my postings on the HCPL blogs.

Until then - best of luck :o)
