Curbside service

Curbside service has begun! Library hours are in a bit of flux, as the librarian has various on-line meetings with other librarians throughout the day. So it is best to call.
-Books, DVDs, CDs may be checked out, but not magazines or newspapers.
- Curbside pickup will look just like it did as we phased into closing: patrons can call or email their requests.Items will
be placed in the pick-up bin with patron’s name. This will be done 15 minutes prior to pick up time to avoid contact.
- Returned materials should be placed in the book slot in the door, as usual, and will be quarantined for at least 72 hours, then covers wiped with disinfectant before being checked out again.
-Although we will be taking every precaution possible, we cannot guarantee that library material is free of the COVID-19 virus. We therefore recommend that all borrowed library material be quarantined in your home for at least 4 days prior to use. The lending period had been extended to 3 weeks (rather than 2) to allow for this.
-No donations will be accepted at the library.
- Virtual programs will continue.
- Patrons can email materials to the library to be printed and staff will leave them in the bin, just like any other curbside pickup.
