Curbside Services Began June 1!
Curbside pickup has been a great hit and the hits just keep on coming. You can still pick up your hold by calling and making an appointment and then calling when you arrive at your assigned time. We will check out your items and pack them up for you and bring them out to the table on the ramp. Keep watch on the website to see when holds may be placed on items in all MVLC libraries. Coming soon we hope!!


The Library is slowly getting back in business. While it may not resemble the library of February, there are still books available and a way to retrieve them. Also, we will have other services such as notary and curbside printing. Visit the website for the most complete information.

What's Happening Down in Children's?
Imagine your Story this summer with the Children's Department!
School’s out, and we’re doing our best to bring families a fun array of “virtual” summer programs, mostly via Zoom and Facebook – musicians, magicians, puppeteers, scientists, storytimes, animals, crafts, and more. We’re also offering several ways to help kids meet their Summer Reading needs: place holds and get books via curbside pick-up; view or listen to books that staff have recorded, which will be on our website; read e-books from our online resources Overdrive and Libby; or visit our Little Free Libraries and the pop-up "libraries" we'll be hosting around town. And, like last summer, kids can track their reading with the Beanstack app and earn virtual badges.
