Library Hours Update
Beginning Monday, April 6, 2020, library hours to assist patrons by phone and email will be changing.
You can access the library website and online services anytime.
New Library Hours: Monday - Friday: 9:00 a.m.- 5:00 p.m.
The book drops will still be open 24/7.
Library staff empty them every day.
We are letting items sit for three days to give any potential virus time to die before checking them in. Items are then disinfected before being put back on the shelf.
You will not be charged overdue fines while the library is closed so you can keep your items past their due dates. There is no need to call to renew your items during this time.
But we would appreciate it if you could return them as soon as you can so the staff can have the materials you want ready for you when the library reopens.
