Message from the Director
I’m sure everyone misses the library as much as we do. We are all living in unprecedented times and the novel coronavirus has upended our worlds and our daily lives. Each day, we face the unknown. New information, new updates, and therefore new strategies emerge daily.
From a library perspective, we have to take one day at a time. I cannot tell you when we will reopen. I can tell you that we listen intently every day for new reports and new information from our state and local leaders and then try to make predictions as to when we’ll reopen. No one can pinpoint when things will return to normal. However, when we do reopen, we will do it with pomp and grandeur! I cannot describe how excited I am for that day! Until then, our librarians are working diligently on different ways for you to access the library remotely.
The best way to find out about what we’re doing is through our Facebook page or our website. There are live Facebook story times, Facebook postings about different live streaming educational events, and of course downloadable e-books and audiobooks. We’re buying more e-books so you have more reading options during this time. We’ve made our library version of Ancestry.com available remotely (see our website for more info). We are here for you even when we’re closed.
When we’re ready to reopen, we will sound the bells and the sirens and make all the noise we can to you let you know. Until then, please email us with any questions or concerns, and we will respond as quickly as we can.
Stay safe, and stay healthy.
