A MESSAGE FROM THE VALMEYER PUBLIC LIBRARY . . . . . Yes, the Library is open again. Thanks for your patience during our building project. We have extended our fall hours to 8:00 p.m. on Mondays and Thursdays, instead of 7:30 p.m. One of the FEATURES OF THE MONTH for September is hunting videos. If you’re into hunting deer, elk, etc., come in and check them out. Some people borrow them just for the scenery. The NEW ADDITION is coming along, but right now we are waiting for windows. They are not expected until mid-September, but we hope to be finished by mid-October. New books arrive almost daily, so start your winter reading habit early. Come check out some reading material, or check our link off the school website (see address below), which contains a list of “New Stuff” and other information.

RECYCLING DAY – Saturday, September 6 – Please have your items for recycling at the curb by 8:00 a.m. on that day. Items to be recycled include newspapers, aluminum cans, tin cans, glass separated by color, and type 1 and 2 plastic containers.
