Whelden Memorial Library

Hi Friends!
Just a reminder- the library will be closed Friday, June 19th, for the holiday.

We'll be open our regular hours today (Thursday 9-2pm), closed Friday, then back to our regular schedule Saturday 9-2pm, closed Sunday.

What holiday? Juneteenth (June 19th) commemorates the end of slavery in the United States and is a day to recognize and celebrate freedom, resilience, and Black history. If you'd like to learn more about the history and significance of the holiday, the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture has an excellent overview: https://nmaahc.si.edu/explore/stories/what-juneteenth
