- Book Distribution Delays
The library’s book distributer is currently experiencing major delays in shipping. This will affect the library’s ability to process books in a timely manner, as well as the time our patrons may be waiting on hold for new titles. We are doing our best to acquire popular titles elsewhere, but this issue will affect book availability through October. We apologize for this inconvenience and thank you for your patience.
