Library is Closed for Moving!

Paperbacks and non-fiction are shown on west

side of the new library. Volunteers and staff moved

over 16,000 books, audios and videos in 3 days.

Everyone was amazing!!

Just a reminder that both libraries are currently

closed. Staff will be moving office equipment and supplies

throughout this week. Doors, windows and other

fixtures from the old building will be auctioned off

June 12th at 1:00 p.m.

Bare shelves in old library - Some of these shelves
will be available for purchase at the auction.

What a difference a day makes

Rod & city crew cut a hole in the old building to

make transporting books much easier.

Young Volunteers

80% of the fiction collection was moved in one day.

Many hands truly makes the work load lighter.
