THANK YOU to our Sponsors
Our library simply could not operate without the generosity of our volunteers, supporters, sponsors and grant donors. We appreciate everything they have done to help us grow and enable us to continue to be a vital part of the Monroe Community.
Library Membership
Don't have a library card?
Stop by today and sign up! Since we are a small non-profit lending library (we are not a city entity nor do we receive any government funding), we charge a small annual membership fee of only $5 per single, $10 per family.
This includes book, audio and movie rentals. There is a limit of 3 books and 2 DVD's per library card. Books are loaned for up to 3 weeks and DVD's 1 week. Overdue book fines are .10 per day and DVD's are .25 per day. We now have a outdoor drop box for your convenience.
Summer Reading Contest Winners!
The library's Annual Reading Contest took place from June 2 through June 30, 2010 and the top four readers earned a ride in the Monroe 4th of July parade!
Congratulations to:

Book Reviews! Young Adult
Brunettes Strike Back by Kiera Scott
Annisa made her South Florida high school squad last year after moving from New Jersey. Now, the cheerleaders have the opportunity to attend the national competition. She still doesn't feel accepted by her teammates, and when they suggest they dye her hair to match theirs, she is upset. Her resistance to the idea only serves to make the other girls question her dedication. Additionally, she is interested in a boy whose ex-girlfriend is on the squad and who makes it clear that she doesn't like Annisa. Her relationship with him isn't really fleshed out, and his proclamation of waiting for her his entire life feels forced. Nationals are exciting, Annisa's squad takes first place, and everything works out in the end, including a first real kiss.
