COVID-19 Park City Library Update

PARK CITY MUNICIPAL COVID-19 UPDATE:

Non-Essential Municipal City Facility Closure and Public Services Reduction

In alignment with Governor Herbert's announcement regarding the dismissal of schools across the State of Utah, non-essential municipal services in Park City will be closed in order to align with Summit County and the Park City School District to minimize the spread of COVID-19. Specifically, the PC Ice Arena, Library and MARC are closed effective immediately, until March 30, 2020. Public access to services will be reduced at City Hall, the Police Department, and Public Works.

For updates, please visit parkcity.org and parkcitylibrary.org.

Using the Library from the Comfort of Your Home

With your library card you can read e-books or e-magazines, listen to e-audiobooks, and stream movies on your computer or device from home. See our downloadables webpage or feel free to use the "Email a Librarian" service at any time of day.

If you currently have physical library items, please do not return them. Keep them until the library opens. The Park City Library is fine free and there will be no penalties for keeping your items.

Next week, the Library will be posting a series of short videos of our Children's Librarian reading picture books and singing her favorite storytime songs. Follow us on Instagram and Facebook for updates.
