Library closings due to Weather or Events

The Somerset County Library has occasionally closed due to weather conditions.   Such decisions appear to usually be made in the afternoon (before 3 PM) compatible with businesses in the area.   Although the library tries to notify a member of the club this is not always successful.   If in doubt call the main number at the library (908-526-4016), if the library is closing early the recorded announcement would be changed.
The Library has a Library Calendar available online (one more thing to check).
The library now schedules Sept - Aug  in the same manner as most school and club calendars.
