Our Libraries ARE Open

Please Note: Upcoming Holiday Hours

Both libraries will be CLOSED, along with other Municipal departments, on Thursday, November 25th and Friday, November 26th.

The Main Library will reopen, as usual, on Saturday the 27th and the Branch on Sunday, the 28th.  

Both Library Locations are open –

  • Main Library: Monday through Saturday, 10am to 6pm
  • Branch Library: Sunday, Tuesday & Thursday, 12pm to 5pm

The ongoing street/utility work being done near the Main Library is nearing completion!  We expect all traffic patterns to be back to normal either just before or just after the Thanksgiving holiday.

Be safe and please pay attention to the flaggers and construction workers – they will let you through to the library!
