Greetings!

New Year's is all about new beginnings, and we have a bunch coming up in 2023. From opening our renovated third floor -- featuring the new children's, teen/tween, story time, and permanent maker space rooms -- to the new programs and services we will offer, it's going to be a year full of wonder and excitement.
 
Not all new changes have to wait until next year. We’ve made a small change this year to make your life a little easier. When you reserve items from our online catalog, selecting lockers at either the Main Branch or the Grand Street Branch is one click away. You can still get your items inside the libraries, but this one-click choice makes it easy to select a locker pickup.
 
While our lockers are available 24/7, if you’re stopping by the library this holiday season, please be aware that we’ve modified our hours over the next couple of weeks. The library will be closed December 24 - December 26, and December 31 - January 3. The Main Branch's hours will be 10 am to 5 pm from December 27 to December 30. Check our website for holiday hours during that week.
 
This season is a time to be with loved ones and reflect on the year that has passed. As 2022 comes to a close, we look back at our favorite books and offer a wealth of wonderful titles for readers of every age. Check out our Best Books of 2022 brochure. I'm sure you'll find a lot to enjoy.
 
I wish you a very Happy New Year!

Regards,
Jennie Pu
Library Director
