Sometimes the captions just write themselves.

Good morning! We are back open today. We are in the last couple of days of our system migration, so our services are still limited -- we can check books in and out but you MUST have your library card with you. Fingers crossed that we're able to go live on our new system on Wednesday as scheduled!

It's also June, and around here June means one thing: summer reading is upon us! Summer programs are up on our website -- check it out.

There is still room in this fascinating, historical program tomorrow night! Register today.
