Library getting
ready for move
PUTNAM — The Putnam Public Library will be closing Aug. 20 to start its move to the new library in the Municipal Complex. Reopening is likely to be Sept. 7. There will be no interlibrary loans during that time, and the staff asks that you hold onto any items that you have checked out until reopening on Sept. 7. The staff’s advice? Stock up before they close — take as many books as you’d like!
