The holiday time is about spending time with loved ones and being thankful for what it is that we have. This point is not lost on the Twin Lakes Library System and so this is the one time of year where we close to the public so that ALL of our staff have the opportunity to do so. The Twin Lakes Library System and all its locations will be closed to the public on December 24, 2009 and will re-open on January 4, 2010. During this time please feel free to make use of online access to our catalog and to your account by visiting www.gapines.org.
