Anyone in need of information can send a request to: Diana <dttolman@megalink.net>, Kathryn <Kathryn@IncreaseRobinsonLibrary.org>, or <help@increaserobinsonlibrary.org>. Also, when there is a vehicle in the yard, knock on the door and you will be welcomed inside. The Library will open again in June 2019 (there is no heat source).
