For the safety of our staff and patrons, the library building remains closed until further notice, while the Stay at Home order continues. Please keep all your checked-out items at home until we reopen – the dropbox is closed. NO late fees are being charged. We are planning how and when we reopen once the Stay at Home order ends.
Please explore this page to learn about the digital services we are offering at this time. Email or Facebook message us if you have questions.
