Coming Soon To Warsaw Public Library

New Hours for 2008

Monday 10-8
Tuesday 10-8
Wednesday 1-8
Thursday 1-8
Friday 1-5
Saturday 1-5, closed July and August
Warsaw Public Library will be open two more hours a week starting on Wednesday January 2nd. Although the library will be closing at 8:00 pm instead of 9:00 pm Monday through Thursday, we will no longer be closed for the dinner hour on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Patrons will not have to deal with our old daily variety of open and closed hours, which were hard to remember. Patrons can stop by more easily after work and we will be open one more hour on Saturdays. Pick up a magnet with our new hours on it in January and use it to stick that date due slip to your refrigerator!

I listened to this book over Thanksgiving. It is an epic out of the middle ages. It is very enjoyable even if you wouldn't chose historical fiction. It has a mystery, love affairs, and plenty of intrigue.

I just started listening to this book today. I think it is quite funny so far...
