CLOSING AGAIN!

The Green Free Library
will open today, January 25, 2012, at 10:00 AM, but will close between 12:30 PM and 4:00 PM for staff training. It will re-open at 4:00 PM and remain open until the regular closing time of 8:00 PM. Sorry for any inconvenience to patrons and visitors, but additional training is needed for the switchover to the new Evergreen System.

OPENING LATE TUESDAY 01/24/12

The Green Free Library will open at 2:00 PM on Tuesday, January 24, 2012. This delay in opening will allow staff to begin training on the new online system that the library will be switching to in mid-February of this year. The new system, known as Evergreen, will mean big changes for staff and patrons of the library, but is an important first step in what may eventually be a state-wide library card for the Pennsylvania Library system. Check back for updates in new policies and procedures for checking out library materials and how to use the new system.
