Recently, the COVID-19 positivity rate has escalated in our community. The Library Board of Trustees has made the difficult decision to return library services to curbside pickup and remote services only. While library staff will be working on site, the library building will remain closed to the public.
Please know that this was not an easy decision to make. We are aware of what a lifeline the library is for many of you, and we take our mission of service very seriously. However, in keeping with the overall well-being of our staff and community, and in alignment with other town services, we feel the most prudent method of operation at this point in time is to return to curbside pickup and remote services only.
These changes will take effect starting Tuesday, December 22.
Here’s what to expect during this time:
Library staff will be available during normal business hours to answer any questions via phone, email, or social media.
Please continue to request items via our online catalog. Once you are notified that an item is available, please schedule a curbside pickup by phone, or electronically via our online events calendar. Select a day, then time, that is convenient for you. Please note that curbside pickup will be suspended during inclement weather or icy conditions.
Library wifi will remain on and accessible from the parking lot; tablets and chromebooks will be available for check out.
Mobile printing will still be available – please follow these instructions, and then schedule a curbside pickup of your print job.
We regret that notary services and in-library public computer access will not be available during this time.
We will continue to offer virtual library programming, and will keep you informed of changes in library services. We encourage you to follow us on social media, and visit our website for service updates.
Lastly, we wish you a safe holiday season, and thank you for your patience and patronage during this very challenging time.
