Update On The Phoenicia Library

I was asked to pass on this message from the Phoenicia Library staff.

The Phoenicia Library's temporary location opened yesterday at 9 Ave Maria Drive, across from The Phoenicia Post Office (in the former Maverick West Clinic). They will be open:
Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 1-6pm
Tuesday 10am-4pm, Saturday 10am - 3pm, and Closed on Sunday

They have opened with a small lending library. Interlibrary loans can still be done with the Mid-Hudson system - and those can be picked up and returned to this temporary location. There is no drop-box as of yet.

I'd like to again compliment the library staff and board on all the hard work to make this temporary headquarters a reality - again, in the face of a challenging week emotionally. And, to the community, your astounding support has been greatly appreciated by the library.

Please drop any good condition books/dvds on the following 3 days/hours this week:
