Covid Update
(Updated October 26, 2020)

In addition, based on recent research by Reopening Archives, Libraries, and Museums (REALM), we are decreasing our quarantine period from 7 days to 3 days for all returned items. This change is effective immediately. 

Note: Returned items will not be checked in until after this quarantine period and will remain listed on your library account during this time. As we are a fines-free library, you will not be charged any late fees. 

Thank you for your continued patience as we regularly review and update our procedures to ensure the safety of the community and Library staff.
