From Halsted Bernard,
Director of Library Services
We are so grateful for the continued support and patience of our
community during this unprecedented time. On March 13th, we
'%me announced that our building would be closed to the public through
the end of the month in order to slow the spread of the novel
coronavirus disease known as COVID-19.
Unfortunately, we will not be able to reopen to the public on
Wednesday, April 1 st. We must do everything in our power to slow
the spread of this virus. So our library building will remain closed to
the public until further notice.
Our staff miss all of you. We miss seeing you every day. We miss
working with our amazing volunteers. And we miss helping you all
access the resources that you need. So please reach out to us, and
we will be here for you during this uncertain time. Though our
building may be closed right now, we are still here to help you.
We look forward to serving you, and we look forward to the day
