COMMUNITY EVENTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY UPDATE AUGUST 24, 2020
The Friends of the Middlesex Library regret to inform our community that we will not be hosting any programs for the rest of 2020.
We take the threat of COVID-19 very seriously. The health and safety of our guests, our volunteers, and our presenters is our highest priority.
We sincerely hope that we can resume our programs in 2021, but we also recognize that we have a long way to go before we return to our pre-COVID-19 lives.
Know that we miss you all and hope this will all be behind us very soon.
Stay strong. Stay healthy. Stay safe!
REOPENING UPDATE: AUGUST 2020
While some of you may have heard that the governor has allowed libraries to open at a limited capacity, our physical building will remain closed to the public for the foreseeable future. The maintenance required to keep our very high trafficked building safe and clean for the community, especially our high risk patrons, is not something we can commit to with our limited resources. The safety and health of our staff and patrons is our utmost priority, especially during these troubling Covid-19 times, so our Board of Trustees has agreed to continue offering Walkup/Pickup services for extended hours, but not open the building.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
STARTING AUGUST 3
Printing, copying, and material check out
Monday through Thursday, 10am - 8pm.
The Library is ALWAYS available via phone and email
reference@middlesexlibrarynj.org for reference queries and support
Readers advisory forms - let us help you choose what to read!
AND - coming soon - VIRTUALLY BROWSE OUR SHELVES!
In the next few weeks, we will be adding a special function to our website that allows you to real time browse the offerings inside the library on our shelves! You may not be able to browse in person, but you WILL SOON be able to from the comfort of your own couch! Keep an eye on the website for this!
We will continue to update you all on our reopening phases via the Library's website, at www.middlesexlibrarynj.org. As always, stay safe and well!
Please note: In case we have to cancel a program for bad weather or other emergency, there will be a message on the Library's answering machine (732-356-6602) as well as a posting on our Facebook page.
And, just so you know...
Our programs are open to everyone, not only Middlesex residents!
