Post author By Sarah Watkins
Post date November 23, 2015

It’s the holiday season again — the time of year for the library to be closed on unusual days of the week.

We will be closed November 26-28 for Thanksgiving.

We will close early at 12:00 noon on December 24th and will be closed December 25th, 26th for Christmas.

We will close at 2:00 PM December 31st and be closed January 1st (2016) for New Years.

All items that show due dates on days we are closed will be reset to the next open day (i.e. if your item is due Nov. 26th you won’t need to worry about returning it until Monday, Nov. 30th).

The book drop will still be available for use and items found within will be checked in as if they were returned on the most recent day we were open.

We wish you all safe travels and happy times with loved ones!

Warm Regards,

Your Library
