Important Updates!
In-person browsing and walk-up borrowing with COVID-19 restrictions in place
In-library browsing:
-
Beginning February 1, the library will be open on a modified schedule, identical to the walk up-schedule (Mondays and Wednesdays from 9 AM until 5 PM, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12 PM until 7 PM, and Saturdays from 9 AM until 2 PM)
-
Face coverings are required for all patrons aged 2 and up, and patrons are asked to observe social distancing inside the library
-
Public computer access will also be modified to observe social distancing protocol (1 hour sessions per patron per day, some computers are unavailable to ensure social distancing)
-
Walk-up service will still be offered for those who prefer to utilize it
-
Returned library materials will be quarantined for a minimum of 96 hours to ensure the safety of patrons and staff. Though your account will show that the materials are checked out an additional number of days, as long as items are returned on time they will not accrue fines or fees.
Walk-Up borrowing:

A face covering is required for pick up; if there is someone inside the foyer area, step away from the door and wait outside at a socially acceptable distance of at least 6 feet until they leave the area.
