Masks are now optional at the library, but welcome. A mask is especially appreciated if you haven't been vaccinated. We will still be offering masks at the Main Circulation desk if you wish to wear one. Curbside pick-up is still available. You can call ahead and order whatever books or topics you're interested in, and we'll leave them for you in a paper bag. For curbside pickup, call 401-647-5133 whenever we are open, and someone will pack up what you need and check it out to you.

After a one-year hiatus, the Scituate Art Festival is returning, and the library is excited to be there with you, October 9-11! Our Board of Trustees' book sale will be back and better than ever! Except for the library itself, the book sale is the best way to get your hands on something to read without spending a lot of money - and it supports the library, too. This event wouldn't be possible without the community's great donations, our Board, and the time spent by our volunteer book sorters and everyone who signs up to carry the big heavy boxes.…

Please remember that masks are mandatory at the library if you are not vaccinated. That includes all children under the age of 12!

You can even call ahead and order whatever you want - even if it's something vague like "children's books about dogs" or "superhero movies" - we can help. We're actually really good at it! For curbside pickup, call 401-647-5133 whenever we are open, and someone will pack up what you need and check it out to you.

Hey there - I haven't updated this blog with writing in a little bit. Did you know that working with the public during a global health crisis is really exhausting? I am honestly so inspired by the people at the front desk every day. They're always impressive, but right now moreso. Anyway - why am I writing? Because we have a podcast! I am the main creator and producer, and Alyce in the children's department submits some great content for it as well. It's probably one of the most fun things I'm doing for work right now. Please give it…
