In these unsettling times, I want to reach out to our community and let you know that, although we had to close the library doors to protect our staff and our patrons, we are still thinking of you and trying to come up with ways we can continue to support you until we can safely reopen.

First, know that any materials you had checked out have had the due dates extended to until after we reopen. Also, the book drop next to the front door is available if you wish to return your materials in the meantime.

We had some Facebook Live Story Times and have some other ideas for online programming in the works, so keep an eye out for future notices.

If you or a friend don’t have a library card, we have enabled online self-registration for new temporary cards. Visit our online catalog and click on Sign Up for a Library Card to gain access to our online resources.

The library’s Board of Trustees has a meeting scheduled for April 9th. We may have to meet using teleconferencing software, but in that case, we will let the public know how to attend the meeting as well. Obviously, one of the topics to be discussed will be how the library should be available to our patrons until we can get back to normal.

In the meantime, stay home if you can and stay well!

Kathleen Whitt, Director
