Important Reminders
You will be required to wear a face covering while in the library building. Disposable masks are available in the lobby, along with hand sanitizer.
Foyer Browsing: Our foyer area is open for browsing and check out of materials during regular hours. We have moved a selection from all areas, mostly new materials, and includes materials for kids, teens, and adults. You can still place requests remotely, and pick up contact-free, if you prefer.
Parking Lot Pick-Up: We will continue contactless parking lot pick-up of library materials for those who prefer that method. Just call us from the parking lot, open your trunk/back door, and we will place your items there.
Your returns are quarantined for 72 hours, and will not be checked in until after that quarantine period.
Computer Reservations: Call us at 497-2102 to make an appointment to use a computer. To keep Library staff and visitors safe, we are limiting the number of PC's in use, so your appointment length may be restricted.
