Are y'all allowing people in ??

Nyelah Hunt | Sep 16, 2020
Julie W | Sep 16, 2020

At the time of writing, I believe the Central Branch is allowing a limited number of people inside the building between 10:00am and 5:00pm. You must wear a mask. They are also continuing their wonderful, and almost contactless, pick up program at the side door. Place your books on hold online; once the books are ready, they check them out and contact you.
