The Peaks Island Branch Library will close on Thursday, September 7. We look forward to seeing you in the Library’s temporary space at the Peaks Island Elementary School as soon as we’re set up, two to three weeks later. The City’s Recreation programming will begin at St. Christopher’s Church Community Room on Monday, September 18.
