City of Roseburg buildings will be closed Monday, May 26th for Memorial Day.,

A city release said that means that Roseburg City Hall, the Public Safety Center, Roseburg Public Library and other city owned buildings will not be open to the public. Police and fire fighters will continue to provide public safety throughout the holiday.

Observed on the last Monday in May, Memorial Day honors everyone who died while serving in the U.S. military. The federal holiday originally known as Decoration Day began to be observed in springtime after the Civil War as a day to decorate the graves of fallen soldiers killed in that war. The holiday later became known as Memorial Day and is used to honor Americans who died in all wars.

Lobbies at city hall and the Public Safety Center, both on Southeast Douglas Avenue, are normally open weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. with the exception of the lunch hour which is from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m.
