Pardon Our Mess Please pardon our mess while we finish upgrading our shelving throughout the library. Several items have been temporarily relocated to various parts of the library, so if you can't locate something, be sure to ask a clerk for assistance. Thank you for your patience as we work to make the library a better space for everyone. We hope to have everything back in order by January 1, 2020. |
