Library Closed on Saturday!

It’s TOOOOOO COOOLD! The library is closed Saturday, Jan 24. We hope to reopen on Tuesday, which will depend on how much snow and ice is left on the parking lot and how tall a mountain the snow plows build across the driveway as they clear Main Street. Stay warm and label some photos!
