REMEMBER THAT YOUR ALSO COMPETING INDIVIDUALLY, SO KEEP READING!

Just a reminder that we are open to the public and encouraging masks for patrons, but if you feel more comfortable using our curbside pick-up option, that is still available. Place items on hold either online or by calling in. They will be ready the next day. Pull in to a designated curbside parking spot and call one of the 2 numbers listed, tell us your name and what spot you’re in and we will bring it right out to you. Thanks for your patience!

We are opening our doors!

The library staff is happy to announce that our doors will be open to the public on a limited basis starting Monday, June 1.

We will be allowing 3 patrons at a time inside the library for 20-minute sessions to browse and check out. We ask that you call the library at 208-226-2335 to schedule your time slot. We are requiring masks, social distancing, and ask patrons to be considerate and responsible in handling materials or items.

Our hours will be Monday-Friday 10:00-6:00 and Saturdays 10:00-5:00.

We are still offering curbside service. We ask that all items continue to be returned through our book and video drop boxes.

Computer, copies, and other office-like services are not available at this point.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and willingness to allow a safe reopening for our patrons and staff. We look forward to seeing you!

PLEASE NOTE: We are having trouble posting on our Facebook page. We have discovered it is on Facebook’s end and we are hoping they can resolve it soon. Thank you.

Information for our curbside service starting Tuesday, May 26. 

We are excited to be able to serve you again soon. We appreciate your patience as we follow guidelines to phase our reopening. We wanted to let you know how our curbside service will work. This will be in effect until further notice. At this time, the library will not be open for other library services. Thank you for understanding.

If you don’t know your PIN, call the library and we will assist you.  You can then place items on hold. Or call the library starting May 26 at 208-226-2335. Holds will be ready the next day if we receive your requests by 3:00 pm.
