'Twas the night before New Year, when all through the library Not a creature was stirring, no one making merry. The books were lined along the shelves with great care In hopes that next year, customers could come there. This year had been hard, amid COVID-19; We closed, then reopened and kept it all clean. Throughout 2020 we had one thing to ask: “Come inside and check out books, but please wear a mask!” Thanks to all who abided and kept our staff well; After many hard months, 2020, farewell./div>
