Warren Public Library’s Big Move

On Saturday, May 30th, the WPL is making its big move into the Warren Town Hall.  Many books and all of the new furnishings will already be installed at the new location by the time our group starts the human book chain.  We hope Mother Nature smiles on us that day, since The Friends of WPL are planning a BBQ to feed all movers.  The old WPL will be closed from May 25 (Monday) through May (Saturday) due to the move, so visit us before May 25 and check your books for 3 weeks.  Our new library’s official opening day is Monday. June 1, 2009.
