The Clay County Public Library will have a slightly different schedule during the Thanksgiving week. We will be opened from 11:00 until 8:00 on Wednesday, November 25, and then close until Monday, November 30. 

The library will soon begin a class for those wishing to learn Spanish, or for those high school students who need extra help.  We hope to do this on Wednesday evenings.  We will post a schedule soon, but if you are interested, please give us a call and let us know so we can begin planning.
