Why? The number of people using the library has gone way down- and it is very expensive to heat this beautiful 1913 building. The cost of propane is VERY high. Thus I am being frugal with your tax dollars that fund this library. As the library director I will go from working 40 a week to 32. Gail's hours will remain at 29.
Thank you so much for understanding. Summer hours will resume in March, as weather permits. Together, we all make Cloudcroft Strong. Cloudcroft Reader Village of Cloudcroft Cloudcroft Chamber of Commerce
