For immediate release: 

A Double Chapter of Love for the Library! 

Join us Saturday, June 28, from 11:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M. for a special ribbon-cutting to celebrate the incredible generosity of two individuals who truly loved the library. 

Geraldine Ruddy Hourigan and James “Jim” Haggerty were beloved community members who believed in the power of libraries to bring people together and enrich lives. 

The Geraldine Ruddy Hourigan Courtyard is a beautiful gathering space for events, conversations, and community connection. 

The Jim J. Haggerty, Esq. Little Free Library, donated by the Friends of the Hoyt Library, offers 24/7 access to books, DVDs, and audiobooks for all. 

Enjoy refreshments in the courtyard, tour the new Larry Cook Historian Center for Presidential Research, explore the library, and sign up for our summer reading programs! 

Come celebrate these new chapters with us!
