Curbside pick-up service began this week, and its been popular! You can place holds in the Library catalog. We pull your items, and well have em ready at your scheduled pick-up time, right by the Librarys front steps.

Cliffhanger Used Books joined many downtown retailers in re-opening their doors this past week. You can again shop on-site, with all precautions in place, while supporting the Library Friends & Foundation in the process.
