While the library remains closed due to COVID-19, we do offer curbside pickup, contactless returns, and Interlibrary Loans.

Update on what is available for curbside pickup. We now have the materials all back in order, although the movies will be getting new shelving since we had issues with the old shelving. If we own it, you can request it for curbside. Otherwise, you can put a hold on it or call us and we will put a hold on it for you and get it from another library. When we notify you your curbside items or InterLibrary Loan items are ready for pickup, please call us when you get here and we will bring it to your vehicle. We know you are all anxious to see the new library - heck, I'm anxious to see it without totes and boxes everywhere!! - but we must ask that you DO NOT COME IN to pick up items. We still have some work that needs to be done.

Contactless returns will continue until further notice. We will have a tote between the glass doors on the east side of the building Monday - Friday from 10 am until the tote is full. ALL RETURNED MATERIALS ARE QUARANTINED 3 (THREE) DAYS before we check them in in accordance with CDC guidelines. We check everything in fine free so you will not be charged any late fees.

We encourage patrons to continue utilizing Libby, Overdrive, and Axis 360.

If you have any questions, please contact library director Lill Batson at [email protected]
