Whether you spent the cold season improving your digital literacy in one of our computer classes, exploring your imagination at an arts and crafts event, making new friends at our book and memoir writing clubs, or finally reading the books you've been meaning to get to - we hope the Plainfield Public Library was able to keep you warm, learning, and entertained during the winter. |

Now, spring is finally blossoming and we are thrilled to welcome the new season with more opportunities to support local authors, spending time with family and friends, learning something new, embracing our creativity, and building a stronger and closer community. |

Dear patrons,
You may have heard that we're getting some work done. And while we're very excited to welcome you with all our improvements and updates - we know this can raise many questions for those of you that visit us often and depend on our services.
As of right now, we have no definite dates of closure. We will do our very best to keep you informed on closings and what services we are still providing during construction. |
