As you may know, the Kemmerer Library temporarily closed its doors on March 14. We felt that this was the most responsible decision for our staff and volunteers, as well the community as a whole. We do not know how long the Library will be closed but will keep you appraised of status as circumstances change. If you would like to add your email address to the Library newsletter, please send an email to [email protected].
Whilst we are unable to offer our usual services, you are still able to use our electronic resources via our website, www.hardinglibrary.org. We are expanding our collections and some are even available, free of charge, to non-library card holders. If you need help to access these digital resources, please email [email protected] and we will do what we can to assist you. In the weeks ahead, we will also be exploring other ways in which we can continue to serve the Harding community. We hope you stay well and we will try to help you through this!
