Olden Days

This old 4" x 11" hand-painted sign is on loan to the library from our neighbors, the Gruens. Their house, next door to Sawyer Hall, used to be a general store and post office.  Bob thinks perhaps this sign was displayed in the store to remind shoppers about the library hours.

So far we have not been able to find out how long ago the library kept these hours.

Library Open Today!

The Library is reopening today for our normal Wednesday hours of noon to 7:00 pm.

The Town of Heath Selectboard at their meeting last night decided to allow the Library to open to the public today. The bathrooms will be open, but the sinks will covered to not allow access to the water. Bottled water will be available.

Library Closed Wednesday, January 14

[Update 1/14/2015 8:45 am. The Town of Heath Selectboard at their meeting last night decided to allow the Library to open to the public today. See post dated 1/14/2015 for more information.]
 
The frozen water line was steam-thawed this morning (Tue. 1/13/15.)  The library must remain closed to the public until the water system has been disinfected and a water sample is tested for meeting the standards of a public water supply.

We expect to open our regular hours (9:30 am - 1:30 pm) on Saturday, January 17.
