Food for Fines

Food for FinesThanks for a Successful Drive!!

Our first drive was a wonderful success. Throughout the month of April patrons donated over 400 pounds of nonperishable food, household supplies, and personal care items either in lieu of fines or as straight donations. The Waterford Senior Center and Open Door of Waterford, both partners of Gleaners, will be the beneficiaries of your generosity.

As of December 2, 2011 the Library will be closed on Fridays. While we regret this necessity, the change will allow us to reallocate the remaining staff hours to provide the best service possible.

Mon - Thu   9:00a - 9:00p
Friday         CLOSED
Saturday  10:00a - 5:00p
