Happy Thanksgiving

The Trustees and staff of the Minerva Public Library wish you all a pleasant holiday and safe travel.  The library will close at 5:00 pm on Wednesday, 11/25 and will remain closed through Sunday 11/29.  The library will re-open at its usual time of 10:00 am on Monday, 11/30.  Friday and Saturday of this week are mandatory days of leave without pay for all library staff.  This leave is part of the belt-tightening the library has done this year in order to make do with reduced funding. More information about how the library has managed this year's budget was posted earlier.  We plan for similar reductions in 2010 and will post a detailed explanation in January.  Our goal is to use the resources we have to provide you with the services and materials that best meet your needs and interests.
