A Letter from Your Librarian
Dear Patrons,
We are so excited to see you soon! Thank you for your patience during this crazy time. 

I know you are anxious to "get back to normal" and be maskless when you go places. It is frustrating to be asked to wear a mask when you come into the library. Believe me, I get it and I sympathize. 

BUT the library is a home away from home to many children under 12 who cannot yet be vaccinated. Further, there are some vulnerable populations that either can't be vaccinated or are not fully protected. It is not only our responsibility and duty to keep our little ones and neighbors as safe as possible, it is what makes us a compassionate and caring community.

Thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation. Our greatest concern has been and always will be the health and well being of you, our beloved patrons, and library staff.
Looking forward to seeing you soon. 
Jackie
As of July 6th, we are OPEN!!!
And we are happy to serve you!
