BIG NEWS! We have a new phone number!

We hated to lose our old 435-6767 number but moving to a new service provider meant changing the phone number as well. We had been doing our best to let our patrons know that this was coming and that it could happen at any time.

That time ended up being around noon, Saturday, Jan. 21.

We hope the move allows us to provide better customer service to our community. The new number is (704) 769-8190, and yes, we have small flyers here with that number on them, perfect for hanging on your refrigerator or for stashing in the car.

Other Gaston County branches have also had their numbers changed. Visit the library’s website at www. gastonlibrary.org for more information.

Our first Chessmates event was a hit! We had a good mix of skilled players as well as one person that was new to the game. Several attendees brought their own boards, which was wonderful to see. The only question was, “Could we do this weekly?” and at this time, the answer is “No” – we have other Monday events scheduled through the end of this school year.

However, we are looking at all options and may try weekly meetings this fall. We are so happy that patrons brought this suggestion to us and that we are able to provide the space and equipment. The next meeting will be Monday, Feb. 27, at 4:30 p.m.

For all library-related questions and more, call us at our NEW NUMBER, (704) 769-8190. Or you can visit us at 605 E. Main Street during our public service hours, which are still 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Friday and Saturday.

As always… Happy reading!
