Weather Cancellation Policy for Children's Programs
If the Pentucket School District has a delayed opening, then morning children's programs will be cancelled (any programs from 1pm on will go on as scheduled).  If the Pentucket School District is closed due to inclement weather, then all children's programs will be cancelled for that day.  If the Pentucket School District is closed for any other reason, the library will continue to go forward with any planned programs.  We will do our best to notify parents/guardians if there is a change in scheduling.  Scheduling updates will be posted on our library Facebook page.  Please feel free to call the library (978-372-1732) or email Gina (glipkin@mvlc.org) if you have any questions.
