A WORD FROM THE DIRECTOR |
This is the last month to finish your 25 in 2025!
(If you're not already up to 20, try to stop subvocalizing and you might make it.)
The Parlin Children's library will close at 4:30 on Friday, December 5th, the day of the city's tree lighting event. We hope to see you there for pictures with Santa. For people who need elevators, enter and exit on the lower level on Broadway. Everybody else will enter upstairs on Broadway and exit onto School Street.
The libraries will close at 5:00 PM on 12/24 and 12/31, Christmas and New Year's Eves.
On behalf of all of us at the Everett Public Libraries, I want to thank you for the support and the opportunity to serve you. We look forward to an even better year in 2026!
