We are happy to announce some progress in library services since the initial shut down in March!
We CONTINUE to offer Curbside pick-up and appointment, but how offer same-day/walk-in availability. Please limit your visit inside the library to 20 minutes or less. We also ask, but do not require, that masks be worn.
HOLDS AND INTER-LIBRARY LOAN: Currently, the MORE libraries are caught up on filling holds! That means things SHOULD be moving a little bit faster now, but there are still delays caused by quarantining of items. Items are held for at least 24 hours when coming from courier. Direct returns are held for 72 hours at all (or most) MORE libraries.
The library will begin to run Overdue notices MONDAY, JULY 13th. We realize that this may catch items that have been returned and are sitting in quarantine. We will also resume our normal back-dating procedure. I.E.: items removed from the outside bin on Monday, will be back-dated to Saturday, when they are checked in on Wednesday.
We also are running regular hold pick-up notices. E-mail and Text receivers will note that they are asked to call ahead about pick-up. Those who receive the automated phone calls do not; this is a limitation of the system. We still appreciate the call ahead!
If you have any questions about this or any other services the library is or is not offering during this time, please feel free to contact us via our various social media accounts or by e-mail at cadottpl@cadottlibrary.org.
Thank you, and we hope to see you soon!
