As many of you know by now the library was closed to the public on Tuesday, March 17th to help curb the spread of the Covid-19 virus. This decision was not made lightly as we know how important the library is to our community and how many would be impacted by an interruption in service. Be assured we have been working round the clock to identify and transform many of our critical services to a virtual, work from home environment. Thanks in part to the dedication of our many library employees we are proud to announce that the library will be offering a wide variety of virtual services starting Thursday, March 19th at 9am. …

Covid-19 update. Effective Tuesday, March 17th the library will close. We hope to reopen Monday, March 30th, but will review and make a decision on Friday, March 27th.

This evening’s Library Board meeting will continue as scheduled. Please use the rear, lower level door if you wish to join us.
