Today’s weather is way worse and the roads are barely navigable. I’m surprised you’re open today.

Glad you put the open message up. Saves patrons from making phone calls to check their local library’s status and the staff is saved from answering the calls.

I agree. Today is way worse. How come your open today but not yesterday? A lot of us cant make it there today but could yesterday…..

Ditto to above! You are closed when most people can get out and open when most people can’t get out. What gives?

Thank you for braving the storm, which doesn’t seem to be much of one. Might bring the kids to get them out of the house. 2 days off from school and cabin fever sets in!!!!

As the KDL Library Director, I make a decision to close the library when, in my judgment, and after reviewing available data, severe weather conditions threaten to jeopardize the safety of our customers and staff. I know that unscheduled closings may inconvenience our users and this decision is not taken lightly. When the decision is made, a closing message goes out to the media and a notification is put on our website and phone message system. We also extend every effort to ensure our customers aren’t penalized with extra fines for the days we are closed. We certainly appreciate the feedback, as it lets us know we are an important part of the communities we serve and we plan to continue doing so to the best of our abilities.
Thank you,
Martha Smart
Library Director
