After years of dreaming and planning, and months and months of construction, we are wrapping up the finishing touches on the library and are getting ready to move in! We can’t wait to welcome you into your community library.
Our last day in the Old Parish Church was last Saturday, June 13th. We hope to re-open up on Lawrence Hill Road on Tuesday, July 7th.
While we focus on moving, all library programs and inter-library loans are paused. We have an incredible summer reading program, workshops, and events lined up for July and August, and we will tell you all about them soon.
Throughout the move we will be sharing updates and photos in a weekly newsletter and on our social media. Follow along the fun and get excited to come on in in July!
Are you excited about the library reopening? Excellent, us too! Can you help us get there by volunteering?
From June 24th to July 3rd, we will be moving, unpacking, setting up, and decorating. There are lots of ways that you can help, from unpacking, to sharing your favorite cookies or lemonade with the packers and unpackers. We have opportunities for people of all ages, skills, and abilities.
Right now, we’re scheduling volunteers to help us unpack and set up the library! You can learn more about those opportunities and sign up for a time slot by clicking here or the button below.
We will be adding more volunteer opportunities throughout the next couple of weeks – we’ll send out more emails as we add more dates and volunteer slots.
Moving the community library truly takes the community. Thank you for your help!
Large Prints Books !
How does it work? ABLE Library will lend a selection of 6 – 8 large print books to our Library at a given time. We will keep the books for a few weeks — during which time you may borrow them from our Library — and then return the books to ABLE Library and receive a new batch.
Do you have a favorite genre or author? Please let us know, as we may be able to request specific books for you.
