Holds and Late fees

If you have some books already checked out - don’t worry. During the closure, no items will be due, all holds will be extended, and members will not accrue any late fees. Book drop-off and donations will also not be accepted at this location.

If you do want to pick up a hold or return an item to the Main Branch, a bookmobile will temporarily stop there every Thursday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for pick-up. However, you will not be able to browse or check out new items.
