WHERE'S THE PHONE?

As part of the Federal e-rate program, the library's phone service goes out to bid each year. July 1st begins the new service year. This year, our new service provider, One Communications, is having difficulty making the switch. If you phone in, you may get a message that the number is no longer in use or that service is discontinued. It is not. The number is good, and we hope One Communications will get in back in use very soon. Thanks for your patience!
