Are You Open Tomorrow?

I understand when patrons ask us whether we're open on holidays such as Veterans' Day and Election Day. After all, some municipal offices, banks, and schools close on those days; others remain open. They're federal holidays, but are not necessarily celebrated by everyone.

But the Fourth of July?! The fact that the library is closed tomorrow should be obvious. American citizens will be celebrating the nation's birth with barbecues, day trips, and fireworks. Of course we'll be closed!!

Although we have posted signs noting our one-day closure (and assuring the public that we will be open on Saturday), we've been receiving a surprising number of inquiries. Thankfully, though, no one has complained.
