- A LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR -

To our valued patrons and volunteers,

Unfortunately, our elevator remains out of commission. We understand that this makes it more difficult, if not impossible, for some to visit our bookstore or attend programs on the lower level, and we're sincerely sorry for the inconvenience.

We are working diligently to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. The elevator company is doing their best to get the needed parts to get things back up and running, but we were just informed that it may take another 2 weeks. If you need help accessing the lower level, please don't hesitate to reach out to our staff, who are more than happy to assist.

We truly appreciate your patience and understanding during this time. We will keep you updated on the progress and let you know as soon as the elevator is operational again.

Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,

Victoria Allard

Director, Centerville Public Library
