As October 31 draws closer and traffic and visitors increase, fewer Athenaeum members are able to make it to the library. We have decided to close Saturday October 25-Saturday November 2 to tackle priority behind-the-scenes projects and give the staff a short break while Jean Marie attends the Membership Libraries Group annual meeting. Group meetings will be held as normal as will Writing Studio hours on October 30 from 8:30-11:00. We thank you for your understanding.
