The minutes are ticking away here at the Library because the holiday break is upon us yet again.
Just so you know, we will be closed, and services will not be available, beginning December 20, 2013 to January 5, 2014.
Before I leave, I just wanted to thank you for a great year and to wish you all a safe and happy holiday! Enjoy this last post of 2013!
