Frequently Asked Questions
So glad that you’re protected! We would like to continue to protect everyone that comes into the library. At this time, the Department of Public Health orders require everyone over 2 years old entering a public space to wear a mask. If you prefer, we still offer sidewalk pick up of library materials, online books, films, and music. We also offer Laptop and Hotspot Kits that can be checked out for 3 weeks.
Libraries offering in-person services will not require an appointment. With capacity limits on the number of people allowed inside the library, we ask that customers keep their visits as brief as possible. In the event capacity is reached, queue lines like those outside retail stores and supermarkets will be available.
