Making Preparations...

As you probably know by now, Tumbler Ridge will be experiencing a planned power outage on Thursday, July 28th from 7am to 7pm.  Since we learned of the outage yesterday, library staff members have been preparing for it, and have a few announcements to make.

First, the library will be open its normal hours (10am-8pm), and staff members will be able to check out library items manually.  As always, your library card will be required.

Second, some library services will be unavailable.  The library's computers will be shut down, so patrons will not be able to access the Internet.  In addition, we will be unable to create new patron accounts or accept payments for lost books or overdue fees.

Finally, the library's children's programs will continue as scheduled.  Lapsit will still be held at 11am, and our  Summer Reading Club program will still take place at 3pm.


We're in for an interesting day tomorrow, folks.  Please feel free to come to the library, but be aware that it won't be business as usual.
