Library Classes


Hello all,

Just a quick update to let you know that the February classes that were scheduled for the 2nd and 4th Tuesday this month are being rescheduled due to scheduling conflicts.  I don’t have the dates yet as we are still checking for open evenings.  I will let you know as soon as they are scheduled.

As it stands right now, there will NOT be a class on Tuesday, February 9th

Thanks for your understanding.
