We went to return some books tonight about 6 o’clock and noticed that the library was dark as we drove up.

At first we thought the library’s hours had changed because of budget constraints.

There was a sign in the window that stated that the library closed at 5 p.m. due to lack of heat.

Sad to say, the building’s HVAC has had its problems, either being too hot or cold, making it hard for employees and patrons alike.  Many’s the time the staff have to resort to fans or heaters to stay comfortable. 

At least McAuliffe is still there to serve us, despite occasional efforts to close this very cosy, friendly library.
