Dear Patrons,

Like you, we are closely monitoring the rapidly evolving COVID-19 pandemic. That's why we have made the difficult decision to close beginning March 16 at 8:00PM until further notice.

The health and safety of our community and staff is currently our top priority. We know that early actions to increase social distancing can prevent the spread of COVID-19. Closing the library is consistent with the actions of the Hamilton School District and the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

No overdue fines will be charged while the library is closed , and the due date for anything currently checked out has been changed to May 1, 2020.

If your library card recently expired or was set to expire soon, your registration has been extended until September. We don't want anyone to be prevented from accessing our online resources during this time. If you are having trouble accessing your account, send an email to [email protected].

Remember that there are lots of ways to use the library from home! V isit our website for  digital magazines audiobooks ebooks online classes , and more. We are exploring ways to take our programming online with video storytimes, craft tutorials, and more. Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube to get updates on our services and ideas for things to do during this stressful time.

We look forward to welcoming you back to the library as quickly and safely as possible. Until then, we wish you safety and good health.

Sincerely,

Adele Loria
Library Director
