LIBRARY OPENING - PHASED PLAN
Phase 1 and 2
With the governor’s latest executive order, we have been given the green light to begin offering library services again. However, there are many requirements that have to be met in order to adhere to state and local health regulations. The library administration and staff would like to thank you for your patience during this time of transition.
Beginning the week of June 8th, the library will start with Phase 2 of our library services plan, which includes curbside pickup for requests only. During Phase 2, the library’s operating hours will be: Monday through Friday from 12 noon to 4pm and Saturday 12 noon to 2pm.
Beginning Monday June 8th patrons may request books for checkout by calling the library at 517-448-3801 and speaking to a staff member or placing a hold through our online catalog at www.hudsoncdl.org Requested items will be available to pick up the next business day.
Please continue to place ALL returns in the outside drop box for quarantine purposes.
Printing/copying/faxing services will be curbside, no-contact and by prearranged appointment only. Please bring correct change for payment. This phase will be in effect through June 20th, unless events occur that require us to change it.
