Extras! Extras! Read all about it!
RBdigital Entertainment has moved to Libby. Indieflix, Qello Concerts and The Great Courses are found by clicking on the “Extras” tab in Libby’s main page.

Book Drop is Open!
Today, for the first time in almost 14 months, we unlocked the book drop by the Front Door (see action-packed picture above). Since we aren’t charging fines at this time, it will stay unlocked all day, every day for the foreseeable future. Now you can now return things at 3am if your mood so strikes you. No more return bins.
Fiction Room Closure extended to May 17
Although the vast majority of the HVAC project in the Fiction Room is done, it doesn’t look like we’ll make May 10. Once the HVAC work is complete, the book shelves that were removed have to be reinstalled. Then we can reshelve the books. We anticipate that being done by May 17. During this time patrons can browse the new books rooms and lower level nonfiction, but there will be no access to older Fiction, Mystery, Science Fiction, Fantasy and Short Story titles, even for staff. Holds can be placed for these older titles and will be filled by our neighboring Libraries. We thank you for your patience while our building is being improved. Note: this delay will not affect our plans for extended Library hours etc.
