When residents and staff are out in the Community. If everyone will make a point to wear their name tag, it will make it easier for everyone to know who we are.
LIBRARY UPDATE:
The repairs in the Library are still not completed after the effects of the flood, but parts of it are usable. If you are picking up or returning books,
please be understanding as to the furniture, etc. that we are unable to use at this time. We are doing our best to keep it open for you.
The Metropolitan brought innumerable books for us and I have asked them to return in three months for the next exchange. In the meantime they are having a contest which you can find instructions for on the shelf by the Metro books. Also there you will find some literature about the Library’s mail program.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call. My number is 405-302-0068. Or you can reach Darlene at 405-242-2098.
