    The Galion Public Library will be closed tomorrow, Wednesday, August 17, as the staff receives training on e-books. Also beginning tomorrow, the front entrance to the Library will be closed through the end of September – including the front book drop – as the main outside staircase receives some much-needed repairs.

    The weather was muggy with hints of rain, but the precipitation graciously held off until later in the day. In the morning and early afternoon hours, the skies were clear enough to allow many local scheduled activities to take place.
