A note from the Director:A Note from the Director: You can’t help but think of family and friends at this time of the year, and on behalf of the Board of Trustees, the Staff of HTFL, the Friends of HTFL, and our many volunteers, I wish all of you a very Happy Thanksgiving. After the events of the last month in hurricane ravaged areas of the east coast, it makes one particularly introspective about home and family. I thank those of you involved in public safety and security-Police, Fire, and Medical Personnel; I thank all of our troops and service personnel who put themselves in harm’s way for their country; government officials and workers; and many more who provide service to us each and every day. I thank you for your constant support, great suggestions, but especially your consideration and use of HTFL; you have helped to make our library a wonderful place for information, programs, education, technology, or just for a visit. We will close at 6:00 PM on Wednesday evening, and be closed on Thursday and Friday to celebrate the holiday, reopening for service on Saturday morning at 10:00 AM.
