Here are some links that can help you make best use of the library during the COVID-19 pandemic.
We’re Open!
Starting August 3, the library is open again for mostly-normal circulation. You no longer need an appointment to come in, browse, pick up, or return books. Books are still being quarantined for 24 hours after we receive them.
Curbside Pickup
We are still offering curbside pickup of books and movies, if you don’t want to enter the building. You can find the complete information here: Curbside Pickup info
Computer use
Computers and printing & copying services are now available. There are some limits, and you can find the complete information here: Computer appointment info
