“Sayre Public Library’s Board of Trustees and Staff have been carefully monitoring our ability to re-open for our full service hours and we feel that we are now able to return to that level with proper safety measures and continuing capacity limits,” said Heather Manchester, Director of the Sayre Public Library. “We have enjoyed seeing our library family coming in to access our services and hope that increased hours will translate into even more people returning and utilizing the library. We thank everyone for their patience and understanding through this challenging time.”
