Early Closure due to weather!

 

We here at the Arcade Free Library Have decided to close early today, January 19th, 2026 in an effort to keep people off the roads and as safe as possible. We hope to see all our loyal patrons in the library sometime soon, but for now, we wish them all to stay safe in this winter weather.

Closed Today Due to Weather

 

The Arcade Free Library will be closed today, January 15th, due to predicted inclement weather.

As a reminder, most items at our library do NOT accrue late fees, and lost item charges are forgiven once the item is returned.

If you have an item/pass/kit that does accrue late fees and cannot return it due to weather or closures, please let us know.

Thanks for understanding—see you soon!
