Sadly, the  HCL Savage Branch is closing this Summer!  But don’t worry, it’s not for good but for an AWESOME Renovation!! More about that later…

 Now a very heartfelt message from Taylor Swift about overdue books!

From our friend, the HCL Teen Specialist, Sarah Cooke:

The Savage branch’s official last day will be Saturday, July 6.

We are shooting for a re-opening in the fall of 2014, which would be great in terms of the school year, but we’ll all have to wait and see…

I will of course keep you all updated with an official re-opening date! Have a great rest of the school year!

So yeah, like Taylor Swift said above…..don’t be “That Guy” and have overdue library books — please bring back your books and read AWESOME ones this summer!I know I’m gonna read the Divergent series again, and Showboat, and finish listening to the Harry Potter series (5th time) audio books read by Jim Dale. ….ok, and a few shlocky beach books but hey! Summer reading is the BEST!
