Downingtown Library

Due to the increased incidence of COVID-19 cases in our community, beginning on Monday, November 23rd, Downingtown Library will temporarily return to contactless pick-up service only and suspend all in-library activities for the safety of all library staff and patrons. (Story time craft packs and returning to letters to Santa will still be available in the vestibule!) I apologize for the late notice, and appreciate your understanding! All holds will be placed in the library v...estibule for pickup. Please call (610) 269-2741 or visit www.downingtownlibrary.org for more information. As the library evaluates developing circumstances, it will be reopened for expanded in-person services when it is deemed safe, including computers and browsing. Thank you so much for your understanding and patience! We appreciate it deeply. For more information about how to use our contactless pick-up service, http://downingtownlibrary.org/usi/contactless-holds-pickup/ Don’t forget CCLS e-books and e-audiobooks are available for download through OverDrive and the LIBBY app, and digital magazines are always available to read through Flipster: https://www.ccls.org/305/eMaterials Please take care of yourselves, wash hands, and practice social distancing! Would you please share this post to help us spread the word as quickly as possible? Thank you all.
