Moving Update

Alpine Public Library — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 17:32:13 +0000

Sorry for the delay in keeping the blog up to date!

Here is the latest news from our Board of Directors President, Chris Ruggia:

UPDATE: Jan. 13, 2012 - The Library remains closed during the transition to the new building. Staff and volunteers are working tremendously hard to get ready. We hope to open the doors before the end of January, but opening day will depend on how quickly the access road and parking lot paving can accept vehicle traffic.

Thanks for your patience!
