Dec. 24 and will reopen at our regular time of 1pm on Fri. Dec. 26.  Then on New Year’s Eve, Dec. 31 the library will again close at 1pm and will reopen at 1pm on Fri., Jan. 2.

We wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a peaceful, healthy Happy New Year!

Currently, the library has on loan 3 large displays from the Illinois Society of the War of 1812.  This group has as part of its mission to locate and place markers on graves of veterans of the War of 1812.  The panels show photos of society members, newly found and marked graves and the descendants of some of the veterans of that long ago and sometimes forgotten war.  If you know of an unmarked grave of a veteran of the War of 1812, you are asked to email the information to rwridenour@wildblue.net.  No veteran should ever be forgotten!
