The Studio This is a center for teens located on the lower level of the Central Library (as well as virtually, on the Library's website) that integrates information, technology, and creativity to help teens excel in their everyday school work, as well as supporting the development of their creative skills.

George W. Hawkes Endowment Because of Mr. Hawkes' influence on our city and because of his love of the written word, it is his name that will guide our efforts to ensure that there are quality library materials available for generations to come.
