Library Updates
The library is currently operating at 75 percent capacity at both the Main Library and Ossian Branch. Since people will be limited inside the building, we ask that you try to browse for items quickly, limit your time on the computers, and consider using Curbside Pickup.
These services are currently not available or modified slightly:
- Some library-sponsored programs are currently not available or have been moved to presented in a digital format. Visit the Online Library Calendar for current info.
Face masks
Face masks are required in all of our buildings and we will follow guidelines in Executive Order 20-48 for qualified exemptions. If you medically can’t wear a face mask, we recommend using our Curbside Pickup service, which offers contact-less pickup.
Social Distance
Please social distance by at least 6 feet when inside our buildings and looking for materials or near checkout locations. Public access computers will be separated to allow for social distance.
Make sure to read the FAQs below about specific questions regarding library services.
We will post updates to this section if anything changes.
