Description
The library building (including the drive-up window and The Cafe) will close early at 5 pm to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday.
Thanksgiving Day is a national holiday in the United States.
In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and the Wampanoag shared an autumn harvest feast that is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies. For more than two centuries, days of thanksgiving were celebrated by individual colonies and states. It wasn’t until 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, that President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day to be held each November.
