Library Makeover!
During the month of August, access to the Children's and Nonfiction Departments will be restricted due to a "library makeover" that involves new carpet. You will still be able to check out requested materials and browse our new materials. These departments plan to continue to offer as many library services and programs as possible during August. We can't wait to show you the new updates in September! |
