Service Level 2: 3 Households by Appointment
Hours:
Tuesday-Friday 10am-5pm
Saturday 10am-2pm
(Both in-building and curbside appointments will be available during these hours.)
You may make an appointment to come in the library during these hours. 3 individuals/households are allowed in the building at one time, one in the children's area, one in the adult section, and one in the computer room. Appointments can be 15 or 30 minutes at a time.
Appointment Instructions:
-Call, email, or message the library to set up an appointment. Let staff know when you'd like to come in, what area of the library you would like to use, and how long you would like the appointment to be. We will put you on the schedule.
-Arrive at your scheduled appointment time and knock on the door to alert staff of your arrival. The door will remain locked between appointments to prevent walk-ins.
-Come on in and enjoy the library! You will be asked to leave at the end of your scheduled appointment time so the next household can enter on time.
-Masks MUST be worn at all times by everyone over the age of 2 while in the building. No exceptions. Patrons who repeatedly violate our mask wearing policies will be restricted to curbside service only.

Curbside PracticesItems are checked out for three weeks, with one renewal if no one is waiting for the item.
No fines will be charged or collected during this time. We encourage you to wear a face mask when picking up your items through curbside. Staff will wear masks and use hand sanitizer when handling your items. The curbside cart is disinfected between each pick-up. Please return all items in the outside book drop. |
Other Curbside Services
We have a browsing cart upon request. The cart is full of new books in various genres, and it can be rolled out in front of the library if you want to peruse some new books. You must wear a mask and use hand sanitizer before browsing to help keep the books clean.
Printing, copying, and faxing is also available through curbside. Staff will come out, help you print or copy/fax your items, and bring the copies out to you.
Appointments can be made to use a laptop outside on the bench. You must provide an ID for staff to hold during the duration of your appointment.
Ask staff if you'd like to take advantage of any of these services!
