Thanksgiving

Thanks to all of you who use the library. You give us a reason to open the doors each day. We appreciate your patronage.

So that our staff may enjoy the holiday, the library will close at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, and will also be closed on Friday. All materials due on the days we are closed will be extended until Monday, November 29.

Thoughts

The best way to forget your own problems is to help someone else solve theirs.
