The Waterford Library will be closed on Thursday the 27th in observance of Thanksgiving. We will reopen on Friday the 28th for normal business hours. Our weekend schedule will be as usual, Saturday 9am-3pm & Sunday 1-4pm.

We are currently without phone service here at the library. We are open for business as usual otherwise. We apologize for any inconvienence and hope to be back to normal before too long.

UPDATE: Phone Service has been restored. Repairs to outside lines will take place today 11/26. These repairs may result in interruptions of phone service.

In conjunction with an effort by the American Library Association to highlight the Post 9/11 GI Bill, the library has posted a link on our homepage. The link directs users to a wiki set up by ALA that provides information and other links pertinent to veterans. On a related note the library will be closed on Tuesday November 11th in observance of Veteran’s Day.
