Possibility of Full Library Closure - Stock up on Books Today!!

Libraries throughout Kansas are closing for the week in conjunction with the KDHE recommended school closings. I will be working Monday, March 15, to allow everyone to stock up on books, DVDs and games.

We are requesting that only healthy parents and adults come in for items, no children.

All computer stations will be closed until further notice.

We will not be ordering books from other libraries until further notice (items already ordered will be processed and arrangements can be made to pick them up.)

I foresee a long library closure so stock up on books now.
