Our Doors Are Open – Here Are Our Current Hours

Posted on by dbigham

On July 13th we opened our doors for the public to visit our libraries. We are happy to see our patrons again but have a few things that you should know.

Remember the ABCs
A- Ask for assistance
B- Browse for books
C- Check out

  • You need to wear a mask inside our buildings – we have them on, too! If you forgot yours, we have one for you. If you can’t wear one, call us. We will bring your items outside for you.
  • We have hand sanitizer – yes, you can use it!
  • Our bathrooms are closed to the public for now – we are sorry for the inconvenience.
  • While you can browse the stacks, we are asking that you limit your time in the library.
  • Meeting rooms and seating are not available until further notice.
  • Computers are not available for browsing at this time. You can, however, copy and print if you need to.

New Cash Policies:

In an effort to reduce the cash we are handling at our libraries, we are changing some of our policies relating to money handling. We appreciate your understanding and flexibility.

  • New prices for black and white copies. $.25 for black and white copies, $.50 for color
  • Fine payments in increments of $10. We ask that you either allow your fines to accumulate to $10 before you pay them or that you pre-pay $10 toward your fines. We will credit your account so that you will not have to pay until your fines reach the $10 threshold again.
  • PayPal and Credit Card options. We are asking patrons to consider using non-cash payment methods. Utilize PrinterOn or PayPal for your printing and copy needs – we can help you if you have questions.
  • No rental fees for DVDs. There will still be overdue fines so please make sure you return your items when they are due.
  • If you do need to pay cash, please consider donating your change. The library appreciates your generosity and we rely on your support!
