THE LIBRARY IS CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC

UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

(Updated May 17)

Library Service update:

Though the State Supreme Court has ended the ‘Safer at Home’ order, at this time we do not plan to resume in-person library services. On Monday, May 18 we will be expanding our curbside service hours to Mon-Fri, 9:00-6:00.

We continue to work with state and local government, as well as our fellow Monarch System libraries on preparations for a safe re-opening sometime in the coming weeks. While we look forward to seeing you all again soon, the health and well-being of our patrons and staff remain our top priority.

Thank you for your patience at this time and keep checking back for updates.  Please call 467-7908 with any questions about our curbside pick-up service.

Here is the latest on our services, due dates, and more:

Due Dates and Late Fees
Due dates will be extended well beyond when the library will open. No late fees will be charged.

Contactless Curbside Pickup
Beginning Monday, April 27 the library will be offering a curbside pickup service.

Curbside pickup hours will be 9 – 6 Monday – Friday.

During our curbside service hours, you may use our online system at www.monarchcat.org to request books, videos, and CDs for same-day pickup. Only items from the Sheboygan Falls library collection are available. (Monarch and Interlibrary loan lending are not available currently.) Please make sure the items you are requesting are available at this library. The easiest way to do this is to click the ‘Find It’ button to the right of the item. At this time, we have limited staff and resources available and are asking patrons to please limit your requests to 5 items.

When your items are available, a staff member will call you to set an appointment time to pick your items up. We are only offering contactless pickup, which means your items will be checked out to you and placed on a table at the front door at your appointment time. The items will be bagged and labeled with your name. Please do not leave your returns on the table. For your safety, please maintain social distancing when picking up your items.

You may also call the library at 467-7908 to request items and schedule a same-day pickup.

If you cannot make your scheduled appointment time, please call and let us know.

Item Returns
Returns will be allowed only at the city hall parking lot book drop, across the street from the library, beginning Monday, April 27 during our curbside pickup hours. All returned items will be quarantined for 72 hours before they are checked in, so be advised that items will remain on your account until that time. 

We are not accepting donations at this time. Please do not put donations in the book return.

Digital Services
Our digital services are always available. If you have trouble accessing services online due to an expired library card, please call the library at 467-7908.

Public Wifi
Our Wifi remains on and can be accessed just outside our building.

Interlibrary and System Loans
Delivery of library items statewide has been discontinued at this time.

Event Closures
All library events and meeting room reservations have been canceled for the remainder of the library closure.

Note that the situation is fluid, so these guidelines are subject to change. Be sure to check back here for updates.
