Library

Services will be limited to item check-out and drop-off only. Face masks are required. Computers & copying services are unavailable. Face masks are required & social distancing protocols in place. Thank you for your cooperation.

Library customers will once again be able to enter the library through the main entrance. As is required for all those who enter building 3365, library customers will have a temperature check conducted and required to sign in with a contact number and where they are going. This is the policy for all those who enter the building and will apply to library customers as well.

Book drops will remain closed as we still have to maintain a 72-hour turnaround time for all returned items, based on the best available guidance regarding library returns. Carts will be available at the front entrance for returned items, as we have been doing since re-opening.
