FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Returns
Please return library materials to our outside dropbox. Due to material quarantines, it will take at least 96 hours for returned items to be removed from your account. Please do not worry about the check-in delay; we no longer charge overdue fines. If you have items that cannot be put in the dropbox, such as Library of Things items, please call us to schedule a dropoff time during curbside hours.
Book Donations
We are not accepting donations at this time. We hope to reinstate this service two months after the library is fully reopened.
