After a week of extreme heat and humidity, today the Library has the windows open and, almost as if on cue, patrons are staying away from the building! Perhaps they’re saving all their energy/library time for tomorrow’s Library Mini Golf event, where folks can come play mini golf for free right in our stacks! Sorry, …
