Library Children's Room Remodel Scheduled
A limited collection of children's picture, fiction and non-fiction books will be available for check out during the remodeling. Construction will be completed in time for Summer Reading Club.
It's makeover time! Renovation of the Children’s Room is slated to begin the first week in April. The whole process will take about six weeks.
But, that doesn't mean there won't be plenty of books available for checkout during the remodel. The Reference Room will temporarily house a limited collection of picture, fiction and non-fiction books.
Preschool Story Hour will continue during the remodel. However, school class visits will be temporarily suspended.
