Fine Forgiveness for our Furry Friends Fundraiser!

The library’s Fall fine-forgiveness campaign begins November 2nd. We will be collecting items such as dog food, cat food, dry kitten food, cat litter, paper towels, hand sanitizer and blankets (lightly used is okay) for the Wayne County Humane Society. Please consider donating items even if you do not have any fines. We will continue to collect items and cash donations until December 4th. Our furry friends thank you!

To see more items that are needed please visit the Wayne County Humane Society at http://www.wchs.org/

Library Workshop Deadline is Fast Approaching

All library workshop content needs to be completed and all quizzes and retakes submitted by Monday, October 26th.

Keep in mind that the library staff need 3 days to grade all quizzes, so this impacts how much time you have if you need to complete a retake.

Tutorials for each workshop take at least one hour each, so please leave plenty of time to complete the workshops.

Let us know if you have any questions or concerns completing your required workshops.
