Our sitting room is available for patrons to read, peruse books to check out, play a board or card game while enjoying a cup of coffee, tea, cocoa or water, cordially converse or maybe play an acoustic musical instrument. Comfortable chairs, natural lighting, soft lamps, local artwork displays, a piano and plants enhance the comfort of the space.

We have a sweet Wurlitzer spinet piano in our sitting room. It is always ready for anyone to give it a voice. Come in and give it a 'Wurl' - our Peace Lilies love the vibes!! |
