Who are the current officers?<\/li>\n<li>What Shakespeare&#8217;s play has the quote &#8220;study is like heaven&#8217;s glorious sun?&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How does it work?<\/h3>\n<p>Use the form to ask short, factual questions. A librarian will send a response to your online question to your e-mail address, normally within 48 hours. For more involved questions, or if you are unsure how to state your question, please contact our library by calling 435-301-7650 ext. 2344<br \/>\nMonday-Thursday 10:00 am &#8211; 7:00 pm<br
