WINTER IS HERE

We have had our share of winter storms lately and I'd like to take this time to remind you that during periods of inclement weather we may need to close early, open late or to not open at all.

Your safety and the safety of our staff is important to us so during stormy weather please call the Library (245-3607) before heading out to be sure we are open.
