Just wanted to remind everyone that we will be closed this weekend for the Memorial Day holiday.

We will be closed on Friday for the AFMC Family Day, and on Monday for Memorial Day itself, and we will be closed on the weekend in between the two.

Thanksgiving Hours.

The Library will be closing at 6 PM on Wednesday, Nov. 21 and will be closed from Thursday, Nov. 22 to Sunday, Nov. 25 for the Thanksgiving holiday. We will reopen on Monday, Nov. 26 at 10 AM.

We hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving. Be safe.

The Library will be closed on Sundays.

Starting in October the Library will now be closed on Sundays. The rest of the operating hours will remain unchanged. And as a reminder, our hours of operation are:

Monday – Thurs 10 AM – 8 PM

Friday – Saturday 12 PM noon – 5 PM

Closed Sunday and Federal Holidays.

And please remember that if you’re using our computers, we shut them down 15 minutes prior to closing.

This change will allow the Library staff to better serve our customers with new programs, more one-on-one attention, and better marketing of all the great sections and selections in our collection.

We appreciate all of our customers and know this change will allow us to refocus on them. We’ve been listening to you and want to offer you not only an excellent Base Library, but to continue to be the best library in the area.

The Library will be closed on Labor Day weekend.

And just a heads up: Starting in October the Library will be closed on Sundays. But we will still be open our normal hours Monday through Saturday.

The Library will be closed on the 4th of July.

We don’t think this will surprise anyone, but we wanted to remind you that we would be closed next Wednesday, July 4th, to celebrate Independence Day.

We will be operating on our normal hours the rest of the week, so we will reopen at 10 AM on Thursday, July 5th, as usual. We hope you have a very nice, safe weekend.

Our blog.

Hi there. As the previous post said, Welcome! Thanks for checking out our new blog.

Bear with us as we slowly bring the blog to life. We should be fully up and running and alive and kicking in January but we wanted to sneak in at the end of this year and get a few posts out there. To dip our toe into the waters of the blogosphere, if you will.

Both this blog and our official website have been in the planning stages for months, but we don’t have to tell you how planning and implementing are two different things altogether. So give us a little time (and lots and lots of feedback, please) and we’ll get the hang of this.

Some of the desired goals of this blog are to make the library more accessible to you even when you’re not physically in the library, to let you hear from the staff, to inform you of programs and events of the library, to get more involved with what the library is doing if you so choose, to advertise some of the great new materials we hope to be offering you, and maybe even share with you a few anecdotes and items to read and check out from around the internet.

Long story short: Check back on us occasionally. We hope to have interesting things for you.

A small example: Before I could finally allow myself to click “Publish” on this post I had to agonize for quite a while about the start of the second paragraph to this post. Was it “Bare with” or “Bear with”? I asked a few people, and for every person who said “Bare” the next would say “Bear.” Sigh. According to the internet, the tie breaking vote is for “Bear.” Bear meaning “something you have to struggle with” (or a large forest-dwelling creature that is nothing but fur and teeth and will most likely devour you and your picnic basket) and Bare implying “undressing and revealing,” which is a subject for other blogs out there. So, “Bear” it is. And that’s fine with me, if for nothing else because it lets me put post this picture:

We hope to see you around.

Hello World! And thanks for checking out our blog…
