Starting Monday Aug 3, the Library is moving beyond the limited lobby service we have been doing since June and letting patrons into the building to browse again.

You must wear a mask in the building and maintain social distancing.

We are also opening public computers for hour long timeslots by appointment only.

Everyone will need to check in at the lobby or front desk when you arrive.

Our space is limited so you may experience service delays.

Regulations may be subject to change.

The library continues to offer our programs remotely.

This will include STEM Club, Tales with T.A.I.L.S., Storytime, Lego Club, The Thursday Book Club, and the Mystery Book Club.

All information will be on the library’s facebook page. So be sure to “like” it so you see all the posts.

Also we have a new group on Facebook which is watching and discussing an episode of Star Trek Enterprise everyday called Star Trek Rewatch.

 

Introducing a new electronic resource for our patrons. You can find browse thousands of e-audiobooks and a vast collection of digital magazines. And there is no waiting list!

Don’t forget that while we are closed cardholders can still get e-books and e-audiobooks through our Overdrive system.

UPDATE: Just this week we added over 4,000 new e-book titles. They are called the Duke Classic series and they include things like all the classic Sherlock Holmes stories, the works of Charles Dickens, Frankenstein and the works of Jules Verne. And the best part is that they are multi-use licenses so no matter how many people take out the same e-book you’ll be able to get it instantly.
