LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR
Greetings loyal library patrons,
We miss you!
We've been working remotely to help you since March, and starting June 1st, library staff will begin to return to our library building. We have lots of guidelines to meet to help protect everyone's safety, but we are working on introducing a curbside pickup service to start soon after staff is back in the building. I anticipate curbside service for items owned by the Lunenburg Public Library to begin June 15th.
Starting June 1st, we will reopen our book drops
. As we begin to receive physical items back at the library, we do ask you to consider waiting or staggering your returns so that our staff is not overwhelmed.
All due dates are still July 1st
, so you will have no new overdue or replacement charges on your accounts from during our closure, and you have plenty of time before things need to be back.
When items are returned to the library, they will be placed in a quarantine for a minimum of three days. This procedure is out of caution. We also ask that if you are sick, or suspect you might be sick, with coronavirus that you hold on to your items until you are cleared. As always, please contact us if you anticipate issues with a due date, so we can help.
Soon, we will begin to call people who have items on our hold shelf to arrange a time for you to come pick those items up. We appreciate your patience. We will have more details and information about this and the curbside service that will soon begin. We know you, like us, are anxious for a return to physical library borrowing. in the meantime, our
ebooks and e-audiobooks are still available
and convenient to access through the Libby app.
We are still here to help you find the information you're looking for, so
don't hesitate to reach out to us
. We are answering the phone and
email
. Our website and digital resources are always on. Our wifi can be accessed in our parking lot. Please continue to add your support to the fight against coronavirus by maintaining social distancing and following other guidance from the governor and our health officials.
We hope you are safe and healthy and enjoying this beautiful week after Memorial Day!
Muir Haman,
Library Director
