Christmas & New Year Hours

As the end of year approaches, we will be changing our hours over the Christmas and New Year holiday break.

Return chutes will remain open throughout this time, but no items will be due for return while our branches are closed.

As always you can renew and reserve items through the catalogue or library app, and access eBooks and Audiobooks 24/7.

As usual, our Open Library members will still be able to access our branches during this time.
