We are pleased to announce that beginning on June 22, the Library will resume operations with zero contact, curbside pickup of library materials,

Reflections on a Special Community
This week, “Reflections on a Special Community” features a contribution from Jean Pfeffer. Jean’s affiliation with Kemmerer Library began when it was housed in a small room in the municipal building. As a volunteer, a fundraiser, a supporter and a current member of the Board, Jean traces the evolution of the Library. In this time of physical distancing, Jean reminds us that libraries build connections. She reflects on this essential role that Kemmerer Library has played over the years, and especially now as residents have looked for new ways to come together. We hope Jean’s entry will encourage you to “Tell Your Story” about your life in Harding Township. Reminisce, reflect, share. Bring us down your memory lane. Tell us what makes living here special for you. All are welcome to contribute — newcomers, long-timers, young or old. You can read Jean’s reflection by clicking
