The Barbara Moscato Brown Memorial Library is excited to announce that beginning Monday, July 6, the Library building will open to the public with altered service hours and limited services.
New hours will be: Seniors only hour from 11am-12 p.m. daily. Regular operating hours will be: Monday - Friday: 11 am to 5 pm; Wednesdays: closed to public for internal operations; Saturdays: 10 am to 2 pm; and closed on Sundays.
Library 2-Go-Go Pickup service will continue to be available after reopening and patrons are strongly encouraged to continue using this service instead of browsing.

Patrons are asked to wear a mask at all times while in the library building and use the guides on the floor to maintain safe social distancing.
Hand sanitizer and tissues will be made available for patron use in a number of locations throughout the library.
We ask that patrons do their part to keep themselves and the library staff safe and healthy.
Patrons will be limited to a half hour of browsing time inside the library. While browsing, patrons are asked to deposit any materials they touch but choose not to check out into designated “Yuck Bins” provided throughout the library.
Children under 13 MUST be accompanied by an adult at all times.
Newspapers will be available for reading, however, patrons will be asked to wear gloves (provided by library) while handling newspapers.
The library will also provide a waste receptacle to dispose of gloves immediately after use.
Bathroom access will be available with a key that patrons can obtain from library staff.
Multipurpose room use will be allowed by appointment only for no more than 10 adult participants.
Copying and Laminating services will be available.
At this time, the library can accept CASH ONLY AND NO CHANGE WILL BE AVAILABLE.
