Library FAQs During COVID-19 Re-Opening

Q: Can I visit the library?

A: You may visit the library during open hours. Please check our About Us page to see the current hours. All visitors ages 2 and up are required to wear a mask in the children's and young adult areas. We also ask that you use hand sanitizer before entering. If you do not carry your own, sanitizer is provided in the lobby.

Q: Can I return materials?

A: You may return materials to the bins in the library lobby during open hours or to the outside book drop when the library is closed. Please note that all items will be quarantined for 72 hours before check-in to ensure the safety of our staff and the next person to borrow the materials. For this reason, the items may not be reflected as checked in on your online account for several days. No fines will be assessed for this quarantine period.

Q: Can I use the public computers?

Public computers are available for use.

Q: Can you accept book donations?

A: We cannot accept any book donations at this time due to space limitations. Our priority at this time is managing our own materials. Please do not leave donated items in the book drop; we need the space for our own items. Also, please do not leave donations outside the library doors.

Q: Can I apply for a library card?

A: You may apply for a library card by visiting us during open hours.
