Good news to kick off the weekend! Starting Mon., June 22, you’ll once again be able to receive library materials through
curbside pickup
. Service was suspended on June 10 after a staff member tested positive for COVID-19.
The affected staff member has recovered, and no additional cases have been reported at this time.
Our entire staff thanks you for the many well wishes and encouraging messages. We appreciate your patience and support.
Here’s the latest information:
Returns
- Drop boxes on Mount Vernon Street open on Mon., June 22.
Holds
– Place holds
online
or call 236-5205 or 236-5208. We’ll begin filling holds on Oshkosh Public Library materials on June 22. Holds from other
Winnefox libraries
will be filled beginning the week of June 29.
Appointments
– We’ll call you to schedule a pickup time. If your appointment was cancelled when service was suspended, you’ll be contacted to arrange a new time.
Due dates
– Dates
have been extended to June 25 or later
. Oshkosh items will be checked in first, which means materials from other libraries may continue to appear on your account after you’ve returned them. Fines are not assessed during that lag time.
Wait times
– We’re quarantining materials for 72 hours after they’re returned, so wait times are longer than usual. Fines are not assessed while materials are quarantined.
The library continues to follow the guidance of the
CDC
and the
Winnebago County Health Department
as we move forward. Our top priority remains the health and safety of our staff and community.
Although the building remains closed to the public, we’re here during regular business hours to provide assistance:
