Library Closure Notice: Friday, January 30, 2026

The Hardin County Public Library will be closed 1/30 due to hazardous road conditions and limited staff availability.

We sincerely appreciate the efforts of multiple agencies and road crews working to treat priority roads throughout the county. While we wait for the access road to the library to be fully treated, please DO NOT attempt to return materials until we reopen.
