CHECK IT OUT
 

bookdropOur book drops are now open so you may return any materials you have checked out. All materials will be quarantined for 72 hours before being cleared in, so don’t worry if it doesn’t come off your record right away. All late fines are being waived.

We are still in phase 2 of our reopening plan. which includes curbside pickup of materials. Due to some construction in the buildings and a delay with the installation of our safety shields, we must remain in phase 2 for a little while longer. We will have staff in the buildings from 9:00am - 9:00pm Monday - Friday and 9:00am - 5:00pm on Saturdays. (Closed on July 4th) We can answer the phones and fill holds or patron requests but still cannot allow patrons into the buildings. We are hoping to move to phase 3 soon. Thank you for your continued patience and support.
