Due to poor air quality, we have decided to close the library this weekend, November 17th & 18th. The Mechanics' Institute is not an air-tight building and the accumulation of smoke inside the library over the past few days have stressed conditions for staff, members, and visitors. We are grateful for your understanding. Of course, any library materials due during this closure will be given an extension.
