MONROEVILLE Public Library Monthly Newsletter Can you believe it’s already November? I know I can’t! The end of the year is closing in on us, but what I love most about this month is that it is a time to be thankful for everything we have and everyone in our lives. I am thankful for all of you, our dear patrons. Without all of you, we would not be where we are today. The library continues to grow each month. I am so thankful for your support and your belief in what we are determined to do. I would like to take a moment to announce our new Winter Hours. Starting December 1st we will be closing on Wednesdays. Our hours will now be Monday, Tuesday and Thursday 10am-8pm, Fridays 10am-4pm, and Saturday 10am-2pm. Closed on Wednesday and Sunday. I invite you all to mark your calendars for December 9th! We will be participating in the Vintage Village Christmas Open House with the other businesses in town. We will be open during our normal business hours of 10:00-2:00. Come and enjoy tons of festive activities! Finally, we will be closed on Friday November 10th in observance of Veterans Day. We will be closing at 1pm on Wednesday November 22nd. We will also be closed on Thursday November 23rd in observance of Thanksgiving Day. We will resume normal operation hours each following day.
