CORRECTION:
The dates for the Senior Tax Assistance is incorrect in the newsletter. The correct dates are the first and third Wednesday of the month that is Feb. 6 and 20; Mar 5 and 19; and April 2. The calendar on the web has been corrected. The newspaper will have the correct dates as well.
This was my fault. Sorry! Sara

Requests for Bookmobile Books
If a patron would like an item from the bookmobile collection, they are very welcome to have it.
Please check with bookmobile staff regarding the item first to make sure it is on board before sending patrons out to the bus.
We do not want to disappoint anyone if we can avoid it.
The bookmobile has limited space so many items are in storage at the garage and not actually available on the bus. We will be happy to bring requested items back to the library or put them on the bus for patron pick up.
Thanks.
