Note from Ann the Overbooked: Our library department has moved to a temporary site due to an unexpected construction project. My department is also involved in closing another branch for renovation. Please bear with me as I embrace the chaos.
I'm also in the process of revamping the overbooked.com site to streamline access to the most popular sections. Thanks for your understanding
