Important Information & New Titles for December 2011

Important Information:

The Roy and Helen Hall Memorial Library (downtown) will be replacing the carpet throughout the Library the first two weeks in January.  The Library will be open January 3 through January 12 during this process.  While this is going on, there will be times when you will not be able to get to the section of the Library you like.  We will have staff on hand to go to the shelves and retrieve items from these sections.  At this point, the microfilm machines will be unavailable on January 5 and 6.  The dates may change, due to the progress of the carpet replacement.
Both the Roy and Helen Hall Memorial Library and the John and Judy Gay Library will be closed on January 13 for Staff Development.  The Roy and Helen Hall Library will remain closed January 13 through January 16 for carpet replacement and Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.  The John and Judy Gay Library will be open on January 14.
