Library Open Easter Sunday, April 20
Library Closed Friday, April 25 for Staff Training.
The library’s parking lot lights have experienced an electrical problem that is under investigation. Until we can get it resolved, a temporary light pole with four floodlights will be placed on the flagpole island, trying to cover as much of the parking lot as possible. Sundown is at 7:00pm this time of year; please try to park closer to the entrance if you are visiting the library after dark, and walk carefully!
