Planned Closings

The library occasionally needs to be closed for circumstances that can be forseen in advance, such as building renovations or staff training. These will always be announced in advance on the library website.

Unplanned Closings

The library occasionally also closes due to weather conditions, extended power outages, serious problems with the library computer system, or other events that cannot be specifically anticipated. When this happens, we generally try to get the word out as soon as we can, with an announcement on the website, signs on the doors, or both. Thanks for your patience.
