We are excited to announce that on Monday, July 13, we are reopening the building! No appointment Necessary!

It really can’t be said enough—your health, and the health of our employees—are our priority. And, every decision we make is through that lens as we apply state guidelines.

As we enter phase 4 of the library’s reopening plan, we have a lot to tell you! Please scroll to get all the details.

New hours
