Thank You! The library reopened to the public on Monday, August 3rd. We are so appreciative of the support that we've received during the period the library remained closed to the public, as well as the reception we've had since reopening our doors. We have heard so many kind words about our services and staff, and appreciate the feedback about the safety of our services. Library staff along with other town departments worked tirelessly to create a safe browsing environment for patrons. Please know that while we wish we could offer our full range of services right now, at this time we are doing the best we can to provide the services that are safe for our community. Meeting and study rooms, as well as seating, are still unavailable, and programs will continue to be offered virtually. These decisions are made in consultation with the Town Administrator as well as the Library Board of Trustees. We are committed to providing as many services as are possible, while equally committed to keeping our environment safe for patrons and staff. Please feel free to reach out to Library Director Jessi Finnie with any questions, comments, or concerns.

Museum UpdatesSome museums and zoos are reopening to the public and accepting library passes. Please keep in mind that not all passes are available, and that each museum/zoo has different rules for visiting. It is important that patrons do their research and learn what the requirements are for any institution you plan on visiting. To learn more about what is available, visit us on our website.

Library of ThingsDid you know that using Trekking Poles while walking burns more calories, promotes better posture and increases stability and balance.

Newsletter NewsWith the library now open to the public, and a new website in the works (stay tuned!), we hope to offer multiple ways to get current information about the library.
