Who Said Librarians Don't Know How to Have Fun!!

Snow Closing

Due to the inclement weather, the library will be closing today (Dec. 6th) at 4 p.m.

The general snow policy of the library is that when area schools are closed, the library will close. We will try to the best of our ability to make this information known through this blog, twitter, Facebook and the WJAC television station. If you have any question about whether the library will be open or not on a snowy day, please call ahead at 634-0512,
