In 2021 how many times have you walked up to a store only to find the “CLOSED” sign hanging on the door, perhaps with a “Help Wanted” sign right next to it? I’d be willing to bet it’s been a lot and probably even happened when coming to the library. I can’t help your favorite restaurant to add back Monday hours, but I am happy to say that we have been able to fill all of our vacancies and will be adding back hours over the next few months. Coming very soon, full day Wednesdays! and in 2022 look for Saturdays to return as well. You are the highlight of our day, and we can’t wait to see you more.
