Hello, friends. We’re sorry that we had to close the library with no notice, but we had a COVID exposure and were required to quarantine.
We are reopening on Monday, November 30th for no-contact pickup only. That means that you will not be able to come into the library for the time being. However, you can return your materials in the book drop anytime. And don’t worry if you have accrued late fees; we will gladly waive them.
How does no-contact pickup work?
You can order materials online through our website or call the library and we will help you select items. When you’re ready to pick up, call the library and we will set up a time that works for you. We will check out your materials to you and leave them in the lobby at your appointment time.
We appreciate your patience and hope to speak to you soon.
