Our Usual Reminder During the Winter Months:  On days when we are open (Monday afternoons, Wednesday mornings and afternoons, Saturdays), we pay attention to possible bad weather and difficult traveling conditions.  If there is snow or ice coming our way, please keep checking our library Facebook page, or call us during our regular hours — before you get in your car to drive here — to see if we are opening late or closing early!  We usually close if the local schools close for a snow day.  Stay safe, everyone.
