Yesterday, we opened our doors for the first time in 14 months for our RCPL Limited Edition service! Our first (little) customer at the Downtown Library headed straight for the Family Place and plopped down to read a book! We sure have missed this sight.
We are so thrilled to welcome you back to browse our collections, pick up holds, get new (or renewed) library cards, use computers for one-hour sessions, and a few more express services. Customers that wish to use the curbside pickup drop-in service can still do so at the Downtown Library.
Our friends at Peninsula 360 Press interviewed Librarian Pam and Library Division Manager Maria about our reopening. Click the links to watch in English and Spanish.
