Library Curbside Resuming Monday, August 3rd!

The Children's Room flooring project is complete and we are excited to reopen for curbside service on Monday, August 3rd at 11 am.

We have also expanded our services and will now be offering complementary curbside printing/scanning/faxing. Send your print jobs to ask@westnewburylibrary.org and include any specific instructions and we will call you when your print job is ready to pick up. If you need to scan or fax, give us a call at 978-363-1105 and we will be happy to arrange these services for you.

We are very sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused and we look forward to welcoming you all back into a cleaner, healthier Library in the future.
