 

ALL BRANCHES CLOSED AS OF 3 PM MONDAY MARCH 16

Important information from our director:

ALL SCCLS LOCATIONS CLOSED FOR PUBLIC SERVICE STARTING MARCH 16 AT 3PM

The SCCLS will close Monday, March 16 at 3pm until further notice. This closure is our effort to reduce the spread of COVID-19 in our community. Details about your library account and services follow in this message. We are all sorry about closing the Library, but it is more important for us all to be safe and healthy during this difficult time.

HOLDS

Don't worry about your items on your hold shelf. Anything that's on the hold shelves when we close will still be there when we reopen.

DUE DATES

Don't worry about the items you have out. We are in the process of changing all due dates for now—including MeLCat! Please don't return any items you have to the drop box until we reopen.

WHAT TO DO DURING THIS CLOSURE

SCCLS is committed to keeping you informed and entertained throughout this difficult time.
