Library Updates
|
Due Dates
We are pleased to announce that we have extended the due dates on most library materials to August 31. Please do not worry about items checked out before the pandemic being overdue before that time. If you have questions about items on your account or about returning materials, we invite you to call or email the Library
|
Return Items
All materials will be quarantined for 3 days after they are returned and before we check them in. You will not accrue fines during that time.
|
Contactless Pickup
Starting July 6, contactless pickup will be available for library materials. The steps are:
|
- Place a hold on library material.
You can do this via the online catalog or MLN app, or call / chat with a librarian.
- Wait until you’ve been notified that your hold is ready to pick up.
- Schedule an appointment to pick up your hold(s).
Ask Questions
You can ask librarians your questions by phone, chat, or email.
