Our doors are open and it’s great to see you all. We opened on July 29 to a full porch of happy people.

Since then, we have greeted all who enter, as we maintain the 25% building capacity, as stipulated by State requirements.

We’ve had a line at the door a few times, but most often, there is not a wait with folks coming and going.

This phase of our reopening is Grab and Go and we anticipate this phase to be in place for the next several months. We are encouraging you to come in, make your selections, check out your items, and take them home.

We have moved a number of our services to our main level - read on (All on one floor) for details about our computer and tech offerings and more.

Our staff is scheduled in staggered shifts to make certain that you get the help you need, but to maximize the number of patrons in the building.

Your happy greetings over the last week have been much appreciated by all of us. It’s good to have you back.

It's time to finish those reading and activity logs!

The Summer Connection ends for all ages on August 8th.

If you completed the challenge, stop in the library for your prize or email srp@plymouthlibrary.org to set up a curbside pickup.

All on one floor 

At this time the main level of the building is all that we can make available to the public. However, we’ve moved a few services to this level. These include:

Our tech team will be handy to provide help with public computers, printing, fax and copy services. Wireless printing – you’ll email us the print job from your home computer or device is also available. Here’s a quick video on how to send your print job to the library – take a look.

We know everyone wants to read the latest and newest books. We have moved youth and adult non-fiction books to the main level for easy access.

The youth department has spent much of the last month preparing many book bags on a wide array of subjects. Each totebag contains 6 books from our youth floor – mostly picture books and easy readers. A few of the subjects include: Bears, Dinosaurs, Trains, the Ocean, Cars and more. They check out as just one item – quick, easy and ready to go!

We have 3 back issues of this popular magazine, available for you to keep. Take them home and enjoy them.

The youth librarians are ready and happy to help you pick out books that your child loves.

Click here and let us know your child’s age/grade level, area of interest or favorite author.

For a specific title, place your hold in our catalog. You will be notified when your book bundle is ready – you can find it on the hold shelf.

Please complete a separate book bundle form for each child.

The Friends are now accepting used book donations for the popular Used Book Sale. With limited volunteer participation required, the Friends ask that donations be limited to 2 boxes per week.

The sale, open every day that the library is open, has an ever-changing inventory – many gift quality.

The financial support of the Friends provides library programs for all ages, summer reading prizes and materials, building enhancements, audio visual equipment upgrades, and more.

If you enjoy British programming, we’ve got downloadables and DVDs to check out.  Hoopla has many popular shows from Acorn TV.

Many hit British TV shows are available, like Midsomer Murders, Foyle's War, and Murdoch Mysteries. Try a quick search here or go to search/advanced search/publisher/acorn and there are your many choices.

DVDs are also available and can be checked out for one week. Take a look at our collection and find Acorn and BBC favorites – Grantchester, Agatha Christie’s Poirot, Dunkirk, Call the Midwife, Broadchurch, and many more.

There are a number of online options and social media platforms to help you keep a list of all you’ve read.

We often point readers toward Library Thing and GoodReads.  The cool thing about Library Thing is that it is more like a library catalog with more cataloging features. One nice feature of GoodReads is the Listopia feature, where you can find book lists by subject.

Bookriot will give you some other options for logging your reading.
