We thank you for your patience as we transition to this new phase and we look forward to serving you!
The second floor entrance (on Summer Street) will remain exit only until further notice.
BOOK RETURNS must be done outside the library. Please use either the automated return window or the black return bin to the right of the entrance.
MASKS ARE REQUIRED for all caregivers who are not vaccinated and must remain on while inside the building. Your mask must cover your nose and mouth at all times. If you do not have a face mask, one will be provided for you. For vaccinated caregivers, masks are encouraged and appreciated while you visit the library. Any child not in a stroller or in a caregiver’s arms should wear a mask, unless the child is under the age of 2, per CDC guidance. We understand it can be challenging to wear a mask, especially for children. Here are some tips from the Mayo Clinic, click here. Our curbside services remain available if your child is not ready to wear a mask. Our staff is happy to put a bag together for you. Please call us at 978-373-1586 x 626.
