Lopez Library - September 2008
Please Excuse Our Construction
The county road widening project has begun phase one and getting to the library can be a bit daunting, but the workers are leaving an opening for cars to enter the parking lot, so don't be intimidated by the orange cones.
Lopez Community Church has generously allowed library patrons to park in their parking lot if ours is full.
