From the Desk of Library Director Dale Spindel

Nothing has been sadder for me during these past three months than the fact that the library remains closed, even as the school year moves on and the end of 2021 approaches.    Speaking for the staff, I want to say that we all miss you, our patrons, and can’t wait for the library to be completely remediated so that we can once again open our doors to you.   We also know that the temporary closing of our library has been not only an inconvenience, but also an ongoing frustration, and for that we are sorry.
