Update on Library Hours
Beginning tomorrow, Wednesday, March 10th, the library will reopen for limited hours from 12:00 PM to 7:00 PM.
 
Our reduced hours are necessary due to ongoing staff quarantines. The book drop remains open and is emptied daily. Regular business hours will resume this Saturday, March 13.
 
We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience. Thank you for your understanding during this difficult and frustrating time
