St. Michaels Library Temporary Closure News

The Talbot County Free Library is planning for the temporary closure of the St. Michaels Library while preparing to move that branch to a temporary location at 1013 S. Talbot Street in the St. Michaels Village shopping center. We will begin moving in late October, with an opening of that temporary location scheduled for mid-November. In order to prepare the collection for the move, the library will be closed starting Monday, October 7th. This is the first step in the expansion and renovation of the St. Michaels Library, which will begin with a groundbreaking in November and a planned reopening in late 2025/early 2026. Please be aware of the following information regarding access to materials during the moving process to the temporary St. Michaels Library:

·        Patrons will still be able to order books from other libraries on the Eastern Shore as well as outside the system through interlibrary loan.

·        Starting Saturday, September 21, patrons will not be able to order new interlibrary loans to be picked up at the St. Michaels Library (they can be ordered to be picked up at the Easton Library). Interlibrary loans that have been ordered prior to September 21 will be able to be picked up at the St. Michaels branch until October 5th.

·        Starting Monday, September 23, patrons will not be able to order new holds from other Eastern Shore libraries including the Easton branch to be picked up at the St. Michaels Library. Patrons will need to pick up new holds placed after this date at the Easton Library. Holds that have already been ordered will be able to be picked up at the St. Michaels Library until October 5th.

·        Starting Tuesday , September 24, all items checked out from the St. Michaels Library will have a due date of December 16, 2024. Patrons are asked to hold onto any materials until the temporary location opens in November, and then return them to that location.
