WE HAVE LEFT SOME FREE BOOKS ON THE PORCH ALONG WITH SOME SHEETS OF RESOURCES.

PLEASE HELP YOURSELF TO THE FREE NOVELS AND CHILDREN’S BOOKS AND TAKE ONE OF THE RESOURCE SHEETS. NONE OF THE BOOKS HAS CIRCULATED SINCE BEFORE DECEMBER, AND LIBRARY STAFF HAVE HANDLED THEM CAREFULLY, SO THEY HAVE NOT BEEN EXPOSED TO THE VIRUS. PLEASE DO NOT RETURN THEM AND DO NOT DROP ANY OTHER BOOKS HERE. THANK YOU. STAY SAFE. WE MISS YOU AND LOOK FORWARD TO WHEN WE WILL BE ABLE TO SEE YOU AND SHARE BOOKS AND MOVIES AGAIN.

As of Tuesday, March 17th, library will be closed until further notice, and all library-sponsored activities have been canceled. No fines will be charged for materials while we are closed. Hold requests are not currently being processed throughout the MVLS system. Consequently, the April book discussion has been canceled.

The Great Book Giveaway has been postponed and the new date will be announced when determined. We are not able to accept book donations at this time, but will publicize when we can.

You can use Libby to borrow electronic materials instantly on any device. Download the Libby app. Find your library. Enter your library card number. The “Library” tab lists what you can borrow. The “Shelf” tab will show what you download. Kindle readers use Overdrive and search for loans through the MVLS site (under Quick Links, Borrow ebooks & audiobooks).

Our wifi is on 24/7 and does not require a password. You can access it from outside of the building.

Please check our Facebook page for updates, or call the library (518) 284-3126 to hear our status on the message.
