Temporary Space For The Library

I have been asked to pass along this message from the Phoenicia Library to all of you. So here goes.....

The Phoenicia Library will be opening at a temporary space THIS SATURDAY, March 26th, in the former Maverick West Building, across from the post office at 9 Ave Maria St. We will have our usual Saturday hours, 10 - 3, and Letter Friends will be held at its regular 11 a.m. time.

It will be a simple operation to start, but we hope to restore as many services as we can as soon as possible. If you have library books to return, you may do so that day. A small lending library and computers available for public use will be available shortly.

The library board and staff wish to express their gratitude to the Town Board and Supervisor for making this space available to us so quickly and enabling us to re-open in just one week, and to the entire community for all of the wonderful offers of help. We ask for your continued patience as we settle in and regroup. Due to temporary storage issues, we ask that you hold onto book donations for now, and we will provide more information soon on when and where to drop them off.

If you're on Facebook, you can follow our progress on the Phoenicia Librarians page. See you Saturday!
