Expanded Hours and Self-Service Holds Pickup Begin Wednesday, June 16
Starting Wednesday, June 16, no appointments will be needed to pick up holds or to browse new materials on the lower level. In order to protect the youngest among us who cannot be vaccinated yet, facemasks must be worn to enter the building. Thank you for your understanding.

Temporary hours are:
Monday, Wednesday, Saturday: 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Tuesday, Thursday: 10:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.
Friday: Closed

Available on the lower level:

• New books, audiobooks, music and movies for all ages.
• New and back issues of magazines for all ages.
• Youth award nominees.
• Themed grab bags for all ages.
• Two computers and a printer/copier.

The upper level will remain closed at this time. Because children’s shelving and materials are still in the aisles of the adult services department, it is not currently a viable public space. To see photos of the upper level as it is currently arranged, see our new pinned Facebook post.

We are also starting a new self-serve holds pickup service. After you’ve been notified that your holds are ready, you may pick them up during any of the above hours on the lower level of the library. When you walk in, they will be in the hallway on tables, arranged by last name.

Bags will have the first 3 letters of your last name, your first initial and the date the items were pulled and checked out to you. Bags will stay on the table for one week to give you plenty of time to pick up your items. We will post-date the checkout so you won’t lose any time to enjoy your items.

Please continue to return materials in the outside book drops.
