Upcoming Carpet Replacement Closure - December 16
We will close on December 16 and reopen in February 2023 to replace our 20-year-old carpeting. Marshfield patrons will still be able to place holds on items and pick them up at the Duxbury Free Library or another preferred OCLN library. In addition to using other OCLN libraries, patrons will also be able to continue using our digital libraries, Hoopla and Libby by Overdrive during the closure.
