COVID-19 Closures and Changes
The Anne West Lindsey District Library building has reopened as of February 2nd, 2021. Following COVID mitigations, we request patrons wear a mask when entering and inside the building. Returns should be placed in the book drop or quarantine tub before Circulation. Computer time is restricted to one hour.
Items returned or items sent from another library will be held in quarantine for seven days before being checked in. Items deposited in the book drop may take a few extra days. You will NOT accrue fines during this time. You will receive notices that your items are late, we do not have control over those notifications at this time, disregard them. Please anticipate a few weeks between the time your item has shipped until it is ready to be picked up. Circulation will call you to schedule a pickup time when your item is ready.
Patrons are encouraged to use our Curbside service. You may call 618-985-3298 to place your curbside order. Curbside ordering information such as pickup schedule may be found on our home page. Curbside crafts will still be available, check our Facebook for updates on when and which crafts will be available.
