It has been a long year but I want to thank our patrons for bearing with us as we all trudged through new territory.  I have tried to get the best services to each and every one of you as we have gone through many changes this year.  I hope I have exceeded your expectations or at least met them.  2022 will be a better year for the library.  We have a great staff who are anxious and willing to help you find exactly what you are looking for.  You will find me, Donna and Scott during the day and Rachael (and sometimes Scott) in the evenings and Saturdays.  Stop in and let us help you today!  From the bottom of my heart, I wish you all a happy and joyous holiday season!
