If you are not vaccinated, please wear a face mask and maintain a six foot distance from others at all times while in the library.

Furniture has been reconfigured to support the capacity limits. Customers should not move furniture for family groups unless staff have been consulted.

Only one (1) person (or family group) will be allowed on elevators at a time.

COMPUTERS & PRINTING

Access to computers is available with a 2 hour time limit. Limited assistance from staff is available at this time.

Copying and printing fees are in place. Printing is 25 cents per printed side (black and white only). Scanning can be done and saved to a flash drive or emailed at no charge. 

FEES 

The preferred method for paying fees is via debit/credit cards online or inside a branch.

Cash, checks or money orders will be accepted in the library.

CLEANING

All branches will be regularly cleaned each evening and high touch public areas and restrooms are cleaned every 2 hours during open hours.

TEMPORARY CARDS

As many of our customers who received temporary cards during the closure still struggle with the need to stay home for their safety, we are extending the temporary cards for six months past the issue date. Those who are able to come into the branch or come to curbside, may have their cards converted to permanent cards.

DONATIONS

Material donations are not accepted at this time.

Please keep them with you until we can accept them.

If you leave donations at the library, they will not be used and will be thrown away.
