NEW RULES ABOUT CLOSINGS

The Green Free Library has adopted a new policy on weather related delayed openings and closings of the library. Read the rules-Don't stand outside in the cold!

If the Wellsboro Area School District has a 2-hour delayed opening, the library will open at 11:00 AM.  If the WASD is closed due to weather, the library will open at 12:00 PM.  If more precipitation is forecasted, the library may then need to close for the day.  The decision will be available on this site, local radio stations, or the library's telephone system.

The tentative schedule for the week for special activities is listed below. Rumor has it there may be a snowstorm on Tuesday, so please make sure the library is open before driving on bad roads.

DELAYED OPENING

ALL WASD SCHOOLS ARE CLOSED TODAY! The Green Free Library is operating on a delayed schedule due to inclement weather. The plan at this time is to open at 12:00 PM and remain open until the normal Friday closing time of 5:00 PM. This does of course depend entirely upon Mother Nature's cooperation. Please listen to the local radio stations for any additional updates.

NO STORY HOUR TODAY

At 5:49 AM (UGG!) I was notofied that WASD would not be having classes today due to the weather conditions in the area. This means there will be no Story Hour at The Green Free Library. At this time I do not know if and or at what time the library itself will open. Please check back, listen to the radio, or dial 570-724-4876 to verify. While writing this message I got a text from the director saying probably 12:00 PM at the earliest so please don't venture out too early.

THIS WEEK AT TE LIBRARY

Brr! It's cold outside. Why not stop in at The Green Free Library and choose a good book to curl up with? Let the kids shovel the walks, they need the excercise!

MONDAY

The regular monthly Board Meeting will be held on Monday, January 10, 2011 at 7:00 PM in the Pennsylvania Room at the library.

TAX FORM UPDATE

image by Public Domain clipart

It's no big surprise with the way the government has been acting that the FEDERAL TAX FORMS are not ready and in place in libraries and other pick-up locations including here at The Green Free Library. In fact, in a TFOP Alert dated January 06, 2010, Instructions for 1040-ALL and 1040A were just released for printing and distribution on that date. This means a few weeks (or more) before they will be available for pick-up. There are a few forms available, like 1040 and both instructions and forms for 1040EZ. If you don't want to wait, instructions and forms are available online at irs.gov. The library will not be printing any instructions at this time, due to the cost involved. Patrons however are welcome to access the Internet and print at a cost of 10¢ per page. With 179 pages in the 1040 instruction book alone, it might be better to be patient and wait till the government printed "free" forms are available to file for that big refund you are expecting.

THIS WEEK AT THE LIBRARY

The holidays are over and its back to business as usual at The Green Free Library. The library will open Monday, January 3, 2011 at the regular time of 10:00 AM. (Do please check the local radio stations or call thelibrary at 570-724-4876 if the weather is bad.)
