As many of you may have now heard, we will not be able to open the new library on June 20, as we had originally planned. Lots is still going on over at the site but, for the most part, the construction remains on track for its completion timeline of late May or early June. However, there has been a significant delay in the manufacturing of the shelving, so it will not be installed in time for us to open in June.
We will be announcing the new grand opening date once we have a firm ship date for the shelves. We still hope to be able to open later this summer.
This was not the news we wanted to talk about today. But the shelves are definitely worth waiting for.

A big thank you to everyone who participated in our Easy as Pie Thanksgiving Pie Pickup Sale last week! Our volunteer bakers made over 50 pies–including enough for extras for us to sell in the library–and we had raised over $1,100 before the sale even started. Thanks so much to our bakers and buyers, as well as our volunteers who helped call bakers, broker pie sales, assemble boxes, design flyers, and more.
But wait there’s more . . . baked goods! We have our annual Christmas bake sale coming up on the 2nd Friday of December, like always. Last month, pies were the stars of the show. This month, it’s a little bit of everything taking center stage.
