1 LIBRARY HOURS TO CHANGE. Closing 4:30 on Tuesdays, open until 7:00 on Wednesdays, starting November 7th. Rangeley Public Library Dear Patron, OCTOBER 2017 NEWSLETTER Summer finally arrived in September. What a glorious month it was in Rangeley! I'm really sorry for the folks who came for July and August and thought they came for the summer. Take note for next year! At the library we could tell that fall was here by all of the people stopping by to say "Goodbye" until next year. For those hardy souls staying in Rangeley for the fall, we are offering a new technology series during October and November. Please see the announcement further down in this newsletter for dates and times. As you will see, two classes are listed twice. These classes will be identical, so you only need to sign up for one of them. Since there is a 15 person limit for each class, we are taking sign-ups at the library on a first-come first-served basis. If there is enough interest, we may be able to offer this series again in the winter, so please let us know if you are unable to take a class at this time, but would be interested at a later time. We would also be interested in knowing what other topics you would like to have offered in the future. Many of our best ideas come through patron suggestions. Thank you for your time.
