Library to close today, March 13

Library to close today, March 13

Dear Library Patrons,
We have made the difficult decision to follow the lead of the Mamaroneck School District and close the Library effective 5pm today, Friday, March 13, 2020 until Monday, March 30, 2020. This decision was not made easily or without great consideration as we know how important the Library and the services we provide are to our community. We have considered the fact that a significant portion of our patrons are especially vulnerable to this virus.
During our closure we will evaluate methods that will allow us to reopen in a safe manner.

Source of Sudden National Debt Increase Discovered

“It was a bunch of libraries in New York,” Secretary of the Treasury Steven Mnuchin said yesterday. This announcement ended two weeks of frenzied speculation in Washington as economists and pundits struggled to determine the reason why the National Debt was effectively doubled by a sudden jump of $22 trillion on March 14.

Discounting any possibility of an error, Library Director Laura Eckley insisted it was an anonymous donation. “I don’t know who put it there, but I could kiss him or her!” gushed Eckley. “Things had been getting tight budgetarily what with the 2% property tax cap and all. That extra $22 trillion is really going to come in handy for our next budget. Make it rain!”Read More Read More
