COVID-19 Update
We are planning a phased approach to bringing library services back to our community (and we are so excited!!!)!
Our first step, which began last week, was to begin offering curbside pickup of library materials that were placed on hold prior to the library's closure.
Our current pickup hours are Monday - Thursday, 11 a.m. - 6 p.m., but these times are subject to change. If you have items available for pickup, you will be notified by phone or email.
New holds cannot be placed at this time, but we hope to roll out this service soon! Stay tuned for updates on our social media channels or visit our FAQs page for service updates.
