UPDATE

The Central Square Library Board of Trustees and staff are working very diligently to prepare for a safe re-opening. In May, we began a major remodeling project after we were informed that our opening would take place in Phase 4 of the re-opening process. Currently we anticipate a June 29 opening date with curbside service only. More details will be posted as that date approaches to outline how patrons will be able to access library materials. We appreciate your patience as we comply with the many new regulations that must be followed to ensure the safety of our staff and patrons.

BOARD MEETING

There will be a Board of Trustees meeting on June 2. Anyone wishing to attend, please call 315-668-6104 and leave a message. We will contact you with details.

TRIVIA ON HOLD

Sorry. Due to remodeling in progress there is no computer access at the present time. Trivia will continue as soon as we are back on Facebook.
