Roof Trim Installation Week of July 20th
Titan Roofing is scheduled to return the week of July 20 to complete installation of the metal roof trim and roof ladder. Work will occur between 5:00 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. on the front of the building before moving to the rear each day to minimize disruption to library programs and public services.

Children’s Room Reopened
The Children’s Room reopened this week with refreshed carpet and an updated layout, and it looks great! Other than a few remaining punch-list items (including ceiling tiles), the Children’s Room carpet replacement project is now complete.

We encourage families to stop by this weekend to stock up on children’s materials before the closure begins.
