Building Project Update
 
The construction fence has been removed, landscaping is in progress, and the curbside pickup location has changed to the new, main entrance on the south side of the building (off Church Street). 
 
The process remains the same -- once a hold shows as "available" in your library account, contact the library to make a pickup appointment.
