Caution - Construction Zone!

This week we will be having work done on the entrance to our driveway, and there will be times when you will not be able to drive into the parking lot.  When that happens, you may park on the street.  We will open the front door during these times, so you can enter the building from the Maple Avenue side if you park on that street, in addition to entering through the main entrance if you walk to the library.  Please call to let us know if this presents a problem for you (there are steps up to the front door), and we will help in any way we can.  When the Smith Street driveway is open, please drive in and enter the library from the main entrance door only, as usual.  Thank you all for your patience as we work through this construction!

Holiday Closing

The Sodus Community Library will be closed Sunday, May 12th, in honor of Mother's Day.  You will still be able to access our catalog, your OWWL account, and OWWL2go downloadable ebooks and audiobooks.

Library Board Meets Thursday

The Sodus Community Library Board of Trustees' monthly meeting will be held at 4 p.m. this Thursday, May 9th.  Board meetings are open to the public.

We're Way Beyond the "Pardon Our Dust" Stage!

Almost half of our nonfiction section is in boxes.  Imagine yourself living out of a pile of suitcases day after day and you'll begin to know how we feel!  Thank you all for your patience as we work through our expansion.  And how dedicated is our staff, still filling holds from these piles?

It will be getting worse before it gets better, but when "better" gets here, I think you'll love it.  There will be a few times in the next couple of months when we will close to facilitate the expansion; for example, we won't be open when the driveway, parking lots, and curbing are being done, when we move our circulation area into the addition, nor during a short renovation period when all of our books will be unavailable.  We will keep any closings to a minimum, and ask for your continued patience during this time.  Dates when we'll be closed will be announced as soon as we know them.
