This isn’t exactly where anyone thought we would be for the month of June. Normally kids are out of school and starting our summer reading program. Not so this year. Due to the level of inexperience with COVID 19 most libraries, like us, are in uncharted waters.

Our goal is to keep our community safe and our staff and families safe. We will continue to use gloves and masks for a while longer. Also, the library must follow the social distancing practice. Since both of our staff come from high risk families it is imperative that we protect you all as well as our home family.
