25.01.2022 Well that’s 2020 all wrapped up for us WHAT A YEAR! We’ve had plenty of ups and downs (haven’t we all?! ) so we just wanted to take a moment to say thank you! Thank you for your support, your patience, your kindness and understanding! We loved working hard for our beautiful community during these challenging times and we know what the safe space of the library means to so many of you. We missed you all so much when we had to close but we are so grateful that you worked w...ith us to try new things like call and collect orders, home deliveries and electronic resources and reading! And a big thank you for working with us as we had to limit numbers, do contact tracing and reschedule events to keep our beautiful community safe. You are all such gems and while we cannot say we are going to miss 2020 we will definitely miss you we can’t wait to see you after we open on January 4 2020! Have a fantastic and well-deserved break, stay safe, look after each other and we will see you next year!
