November feels like a short month. It's already a 30 day month, and this year it has 5 Sundays. Also, due to the Thanksgiving holiday, we will be closing at 5pm on Wednesday the 26th, all day on Thursday the 27th, and all day on Friday the 28th.
Speaking of Thanksgiving, I want to extend my gratitude, of course, to our veterans and their families, for their service and sacrifice for our nation.
I also thank all the hard working staff and loyal patrons and friends who help keep the libraries welcoming and a helpful resource for the community.
On Tuesday the 18th, come and share your culture at the aptly named Share Your Culture Night at the Parlin Library.
One more thing- If the Parlin Library is your polling place, be sure to come by on Tuesday the 4th to vote!
