UPCOMING CLOSURES

With the upcoming holidays and school breaks approaching, you might be wondering about the library's services and hours.  We will be closed Friday, December 23 through Monday, December 26. We will also be closed Friday, December 30 through Monday, January 2. 

While we are closed, you can take advantage of some of our online services. You might already be familiar with Libby and Hoopla as other options for borrowing materials, but have you tried some of our other online offerings? A couple of them are highlighted below in this week's blog post.
