Legal Town Council signed on to membership with the Northern Lights Library System (NLLS). This membership allows Legal residents to be eligible for regular library card services at surrounding libraries, and Legal can start to develop library services of its own. The next step is to establish a library space in town so local and area residents can access resources locally, attend library programs, and have a welcoming, barrier-free space for all. – Lucie Roy Photo
