Thanks
We’ve received many affirming comments in recent weeks and appreciate both your taking the time to say so and to make that silent support more visible. Visitors and homeowner snowbirds bring experience from another community and that comparison has given us ideas and encouragement.
Browsing
The books on the shelves want you to look at them. If, after reading one briefly or deciding not to check it out, feel free to leave it on a table nearby or at the front desk. A book replaced out of order can become be a book ‘lost’ until staff or volunteers have time to check that shelf.
Library Hours
Don’t remember library hours? When we are closed, a recorder gives the hours of operation, either on 765-8162 or on 765-8163. Except for holidays, we are open Monday and Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 9 to 5; and Saturday 9 to 1. We look forward to seeing you.
