In observance of Juneteenth, the library and many other city departments will be closed on June 19th.

This day commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans and celebrates freedom and the contributions of Black communities to our nation’s history and culture. We encourage everyone to take this time to reflect, learn, and participate in events that honor the significance of this day.

We will resume regular business hours on June 20th.
