Time to stock up! Current forecasting estimates somewhere between 1 and, well, 10? 20? 30? inches of snow Thurs-Sat. And the library will be closed Fri-Mon. Be sure to get all the library books, DVDs, backpacks you'll need. Maybe grab a jigsaw puzzle from the puzzle exchange.

Painters at work! For the first time since we opened the expanded library 21 years ago the Reference/Non-Fiction Area is being painted! Please be patient as the painters may occassionally need to block off areas and ask for staff help in reaching materials.
