Library is Open!
Phase 3 of reopening – For now, the hours will be limited to Monday-Friday 10:00 am-5:00 pm. We are asking people to please wear a mask and practice social distancing while in the library. All patrons are limited to one visit per day not to exceed (1) hour in the library. Children must be accompanied by an adult and there will be no toys, games, or puppets available in the children’s department. Thank you to all our patrons for your support and patience.
