The fall book sale was a great success! Many thanks to all who bought books, DVDs, magazines, baked goods and other items.

We appreciated the extraordinary number of book donations. It was sometimes difficult to keep up with sorting, labeling, carrying and shelving of the items in the basement while still being available to help patrons on the main library floor.

To everyone who donated other items or baked treats, your support was most welcome.

We’ve finally had some beautiful fall weather days. It might seem early to remind our patrons of the library’s bad weather policies, but remember when we had snow and ice storms at the end of October? We list closings on WFMZ television and wfmz.com, so check one of those before you make a trip here. No fines are charged for days we close early or are completely closed. Stay safe!
