The library is closed on Monday, May 27 in observance of Memorial Day. Regular hours resume on Tuesday, May 28. Did you know that Memorial Day originated in the late 1860s, in the years following the Civil War? It was first called Decoration Day, and did not become an official federal holiday until 1971.
