It's almost time, times 2

It is almost time to make our final move. That may happen before the end of the month. Things are coming together quickly.

And there will be another change, involving time. For Wednesday only, our hours will change. We will open at 9 a.m. and close at 2 p.m. We hope this will be a convenience for some who may not want to go out at night.

The Homer Library's upcoming move

The Homer Library has very special board members. Unlike village board
members, library board members serve without pay. It is strictly a volunteer
position. And yet, these people give of their time and talents, and not just
to attend meetings. They have been very involved in the work that is going
on as we prepare for the final move. Some have spent entire days out there
painting.

We are also blessed to have board members who have the knowledge and
experience to oversee this whole project. There is so much more involved
than what meets the eye. A library facility has special requirements that
other buildings don't have.

Board members are also involved in the Reading is Fundamental program, a
time consuming program, but one of great value to the school children.

We hope that people will visit the new library once we get move, and see
what we have to offer. It will be so much more than ever before.

Progress in the new Library

The Homer Library has very special board members. Unlike village board
members, library board members serve without pay. It is strictly a volunteer
position. And yet, these people give willingly of their time and talents, and not just to attend meetings. They have been very involved in the work that is going
on as we prepare for the final move. Some have spent entire days out there
painting. I think they must dream of painting, ladders, and paint smells, if they dream at all.

We are also blessed to have board members who have the knowledge and
experience to oversee this whole project. There is so much more involved
than what meets the eye. A library facility has special requirements that
other buildings don't have.

Board members are also involved in the Reading is Fundamental program, a

We hope that people will visit the new library once we get moved, and see
