current information from health officials to determine the best date to
reopen.

out physical materials instead of returning them. All book drops are

FAQs
1. WHAT IF I CAN'T PICK UP MY HOLDS BEFORE THE LIBRARY CLOSES?
Your holds will stay on our shelves until we open again.
2. WHAT ABOUT HOLD REQUESTS THAT HAVEN'T BEEN FILLED?
You will keep your spot in line for any holds you made before the temporary closing.
3. WHAT DO I DO WITH MY MATERIALS THAT ARE DUE WHILE THE LIBRARY IS CLOSED?
Don’t worry. Return your materials after we open - you do not need to renew online. We don't have fines, so don't worry!
4. CAN I STILL BORROW ELECTRONIC MATERIALS?
Yes! Our entire online collection including eBooks, audiobooks and
streaming movies, music and television shows will still be available
for use through the Ohio Digital Library and Freegal. We also have
numerous research tools available on our website.
5. HOW LONG WILL THE LIBRARY BE CLOSED?
At this point we are unsure, but our Leadership Team will continue to
monitor the situation and provide updates here and on social media as
they become available.
6. HOW WILL THE LIBRARY ENSURE RETURNED BOOKS AND
MATERIALS ARE SAFE TO BE REDISTRIBUTED SHOULD SOMEONE BORROWING
MATERIALS BE DIAGNOSED WITH CORONAVIRUS?
The Library is currently reviewing potential measures. According to the
CDC, it may be possible that a person can get coronavirus by touching a
surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own
mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, but this is not thought to be the
main way the virus spreads. We will take every precaution to keep all
materials and surfaces safe when the library opens again.
