Our Winter Reading Program is kicking off as
soon as winter break begins. From mid-December to mid-January,
we'll be offering weekly take-home craft kits, reading
challenges, and a Noon Year's Eve Party. Think of it as
similar to the Summer Reading Program, but we're packing all
the fun into one month!
Here are some highlights from our current Safety Plan,
which was approved by the Library Board of Trustees on
November 22, 2021. As always, our top priority is the safety
of staff members and patrons.
• All staff members and volunteers are screened daily to
ensure that everyone is feeling well.
• All staff members, volunteers, and patrons are wearing
appropriate PPE for each situation.
• We are cleaning all public areas on a regular basis.
• We are cleaning and disinfecting all work areas at the end
of every shift.
Please feel free to review our full Safety Plan.
