Service Updates - We are here to help you!
 
Due to health concerns of COVID19, the library building will be temporarily closed to the public until further notice. Staff will continue to work part-time at the Library and part-time from home. We know you have questions about what this closure means for our services and your accounts. Here is what we can tell you:
  • No overdue fees will be charged - We do not charge overdue fees.
  • Do not worry if your material becomes due. Staff are attempting to renew all items for you - All overdue email notices have been temporarily suspended.
  • The drive-up book drop is closed. Please hold on to all library materials until the Library reopens.
  • Holds can not be placed on items - Libraries throughout the state are closed
  • The Courier has suspended service until April 27th
  • Card expiration dates are extended. All library cards that are set to expire in March, April, or May have been extended for 3 months. If you have trouble downloading free digital material, your card may have expired prior to March. Call me at my home number below and I will renew it for you.
  • Online resources and streaming content are available. For people looking for material to read, watch, and/or listen, we encourage the use of our online streaming resources such as Hoopla and Libby. (find links below) These are available for FREE with your library card. Need help - Call us anytime at the numbers below.
  • Library staff and board members are constantly monitoring the situation - Updated information is received from our Library System and the State Library on a regular basis. The Library will reopen when it is once again safe to circulate library materials.
