Brent, that is wonderful, wonderful news! Thank you so much to you and all the staff who have worked (and continue to work) so hard for all your patrons through this entire ordeal. --Eric Eric D. M.

The Library lost valuable staff members and important programs at the time of the budget cuts and staff lay-offs in October 2002, but it is now possible for the Library to resume some previous activities and once again offer Monday service. Within the last few months the Library has been able to hire additional public service staff, and we are pleased once again to be able to serve our patrons on Mondays.
