Out of an abundance of caution and to ensure the safety of our patrons the Library closed on 10/2. We followed our Pandemic Operations Plan for a COVID-19 exposure. If you were in the Library on September 28 or 29th, please self-monitor for COVID-19 symptoms. If you develop symptoms consistent with COVID-19, it is recommended that you be tested for COVID-19 and isolate yourself from others while waiting for your results.

The 100^th Celebration Tea on 10/3 has been postponed.

The health and safety of our patrons and staff are our top priority, and we thank everyone for their patience during this closure.

Last few days to get your tickets.
