Patrons are required to have temperature taken upon entering and wear a mask at all times while inside of a library facility, and masks should fully cover the nose and mouth. All LCPL buildings are adhering to occupancy limits, so you may experience a wait before entering a branch. Patrons should limit time in the building to allow more patrons to have an opportunity to use the library.
Curbside pick-up will only be available on Tuesdays. For details on how to use this service, call your local library branch.
Public programs and room bookings remain suspended. However, virtual programs will continue on the library’s Facebook page and YouTube channel.
Wi-Fi will continue being accessible outside all branches.
Book returns are open at all branches. All items are being quarantined for five days before they are processed, checked in and recirculated.
