Hello! In mid-June library staff were allowed into the library for the first time since March!
Working in skeleton crews, we have begun accepting returns, checking-in and shelving lots of materials (over 6,000 items were checked-out at the start of the lockdown) and getting four months worth of new books ready for circulation so pickup service can begin in early July.
We're thrilled to at last be able to provide books and other materials to you again and look forward to seeing you all.
Information on how the pickup system will work is coming very soon. Stay tuned and as always, thank you for your patience!
