Inclement weather and other closures:
The Library endeavors to be open regular hours whenever possible and has been able to so far, thanks in part to the commitment of volunteers and staff. There may be times, however, when it is not safe for staff to travel to the Library and no one local is available to serve you. In that case we will do our best to have a notice posted on the Library door and have a message on the Library answering machine. If you are not sure whether the Library is open, you are welcome to call us at 895-3053.
