We will be closed to the public on Wednesdays and Sundays. Patrons may browse collections, ask for reference assistance, pick up holds, renew or apply for a Library card, and use self-checkout stations with a library card or scannable digital version. Curbside service will remain open. For computer appointments, please call the Library during open hours. Please continue to use the outdoor book drops to return your items. For more information, read the details of our phased reopening.
