Library Reduced hours:  Monday - Friday 10:00-4:00pm. Saturday 10:00-3:00pm
 

Good news! While work is being done to repair the damage from flooding in the library, we are able to provide some library services. 

 

The front room of the library will be open to the public on a reduced schedule starting Friday, August 9th. We'll have a browsing collection of new materials available to check out, access to computers, and you'll be able to pick up your holds from other area libraries.  We have been able to find new venues for several of our programs. Please see below.  Check our website for updates! 

 

Thank you to all of you who have expressed concern and offered to help during this tough time for the library. The silver lining is seeing how the community comes together during trying times.  Our library team is so grateful.
