This Week at the Library - February 13th - 19th, 2022

 

Another busy week here at the library as we prepare for our winterizing, “Button Up”, project that is slated to begin next Monday, February 21^st. The team from Shakes and Shingles will be tightening up the air leaks in our attic and putting in new insulation. We look forward to feeling cozier and saving money on our heating bills and we are most appreciative of the contributions from our patrons and friends which is making this all possible. 

And this week, prior to the start of the project, a walkway around the sky-light was added making it safer to approach and clean the window... unfortunately the window is a magnet for dead flies!

Once the project begins, there will be a lot of equipment coming and going, so it has been decided to close the library, while the work is being done. The library will be closed the whole week of February 21^st… that is, we will be closed on the Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday of that week. This is your warning to stock up this week!

This Week’s Open Hours – Monday 10-1, Wednesday 12-4, and Saturday 10-1

Family Time – Monday, February 14^th at 10 – It will be Valentine’s Day so you can bet that we will have some fun things going on and, be sure to wear something red if you can!
