Who We Are
The ICLFF Board is comprised of local residents who are interested in promoting and expanding the benefits of the library. Since moving into the renovated Barnett Building in 2018, the Library has experienced:
- Increasing numbers of patrons.
- More materials checked out.
- An afterschool teen program (Canteen).
- Computers for community use.
- Computer classes.
- New and expanding programming.
Each of these additions helped the library to become a more relevant environment.
