“We will keep the public updated as we make plans to reopen the Library and resume Holds Pick-Up. Please watch our social media pages, in addition to our website, for updates,” explained Finn.
Again, the Main Branch of the Lewis & Clark Library will close effective immediately. Patrons can access their online accounts but Holds Pick-Up and Phone a Librarian Services are suspended until further notice.
