Due to the horrid weather, we've cancelled tonight's program (although the library is staying OPEN), and have rescheduled it for two weeks from tonight: 7:00 pm on Wed. March 26. That is during Spring Break, so hopefully more people can attend anyway. And we'd better not have snow on that night or this librarian is going to throw in the towel and move to Florida...

If you like borrowing videogames from the library, then you'll like this news: starting today, all of our videogames check out one week longer and the limit has increased by 1! So you can now check out THREE games at a time, and you get to keep them for TWO WEEKS instead of one. And, if the game you want is checked out, you can now PLACE HOLDS on videogames through our catalog. So you'll get a phone call, text or email when that game is returned and ready for you to borrow. So what are you waiting for? Check out our game list!
