As of 5/29/2020: This week, staff reentered the library to work in staggered, limited shifts to clear the book drop of materials as well as begin for the "new normal." Although Jefferson County goes green today, we will not be able to open our doors just yet.
Please return any library materials (especially Interlibrary Loan items) to the library via the book drop. Any items with March, April, and May due dates have been extended to the end of June, so NO fines have been accruing. If any other library items that were checked out before March 2020 are returned in the book drop before June 30, we'll take them -- FINE FREE, no questions asked.
We hope to announce, very soon, the details for Grab-and-Go pick-up service for reserved books and movies. If you want to get a head start on this, the quickest way will be to place holds on items by using your online library account by clicking on the "Card Catalog & Patron Log-In" button below. Click on the "My Account" button in the top, right corner and use your library barcode number and PIN (first four letters of your last name, first letter capitalized). Through this system, you can search for titles and place reserves. Others may be ahead of you in line, but beat the rush and get in line early. You can also move about the system and find other ways of looking for materials, like using the Advanced search features or clicking "Browse" to see the newest items that have been added to the collection. Don't worry, this won't be the only way to select materials. We'll have more details with the upcoming announcement, so stay tuned!
We know that this experience has not been easy on anyone, so we greatly appreciate your patience as we work through the guidelines and new procedures. We look forward to seeing you soon!
