Closed Due To Inclement Weather, Wednesday, March 4, 2015
Carthage Public Library will be closed on Wednesday, March 4, 2015, due to inclement weather.
Inclement Weather Policy
In cases of inclement weather, the library will be closed when the Carthage Public Schools are forced to close. If we are closed, no overdue fines will be accrued that day. After the first day, we will evaluate the road conditions and will reopen as soon as possible, even if schools remain closed.
