Beginning Tuesday, October 3, the following library items will temporarily move into storage:

  • MOST MOVIES
  • ALL MUSIC CDs
  • ALL CHILDREN’S AUDIOBOOKS

This action is necessary as we prepare to move into the west side of the building. We believe that items moved to storage will remain unavailable for the next 2-4 weeks.
