LIBRARY UPDATES:
Curbside service is still available for card-holding patrons. We will also provide faxing and copying needs by calling ahead and upon arrival. Patrons need to call the library to request materials or if familiar with our Evergreen system may place a hold on materials from our library only for pick up during designated hours. Safe materials handling practices may limit the number of items or may delay the time required to process materials for pickup. There will be a 1-2 hour wait after calling the library or placing holds for materials to be ready for pick up. Upon arrival at the library, patrons must call the library for further instructions.
Hours beginning May 26th for Curbside, faxing and copying is Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday from 10 am – 4 pm and Saturday 10:00 am – 1:00 pm.
