For the safety of the patrons, the Walter T.A. Hansen Memorial Library will be closed for approximately three to four weeks beginning the middle of January 2015. This will be while the ceiling and lighting replacement is being implemented.
Library officials apologize for this inconvenience and look forward to seeing everyone when the library reopens.
