Happy New Year!


Happy New Year to all our patrons and their families. We appreciate your patience while we were closed the extra days during the holidays. Our staff appreciated the time off, and we were able economize to help with our forthcoming budget year. All of our patrons were friendly and helpful, and we appreciate the many volunteers who helped us return items to the shelves so quickly.


There were some technological improvements at the end of the year. The Mouse Pad now has a pc reservation and print management system in order to free up staff to help with patron's questions. We have also installed to self-check out stations at the circulation desk for patrons with easy checkouts to help speed up the long lines. You'll also find a new color copier in the computer lab for your copying needs. Many patrons have expressed concern that these new items are costing employees their positions, but they are not. They are freeing up staff to spend more time with patrons helping them with holds, fine issues and more!


We hope you enjoy our improvements and join us in celebrating our 100th Birthday this year!
