Winter Weather Update: Library Open Today, But No Storytime

We hope that everyone throughout Perry and Noble County are taking it slow if they have to get out in today's winter weather. The library will be open for its normal hours of operation.

However, please note that THERE WILL BE NO STORYTIME TODAY. We hope to see all our favorite kids next week, but today, we encourage you to stay in with your little ones.
