In accordance with our policy of closing in line with school district closings, the libraries in New Kensington and Lower Burrell closed on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday (2/8, 2/9, and 2/11) of last week due to extreme inclement weather. However, by Thursday, when the school districts in Lower Burrell and New Kensington closed for a fourth consecutive day, we made a special exception. We wanted to support the community, and so we opened both Thursday and Friday, despite our winter weather policy.
We want to thank you for your patience and understanding during our closings. Check out some pictures of our libraries during this storm.

We'd also like to let you know that we made special arrangements for additional plowing and snow removal in the Lower Burrell parking lot, and so the conditions there have vastly improved. Again, we thank you for your patience during this difficult time!
How was the snow at your house? We'd love to hear from you. Please feel free to share your stories, links to your own blogs and/or pictures in the comments.
We live in Lower Burrell and we had 23 inches after the first big storm. By the time it was all done we had 30 inches of snow. It took my husband and I 3 hours to shovel out our driveway. Because of the state of emergency my husband walked to Community Market only to find out it was closed.
ReplyDeleteI work in New Ken and my husband drove us down into New Ken the day after the storm and it was a ghost town. If we saw a person they were walking in the middle of the streets where one path had been plowed. It was like this all over New Ken.
