Greenville Public LibrarySeptember 2019 Newsletter •••imagine the possibilities•••

Our parking lot project is moving along quite nicely. We will need to be closed from Sunday, September 22nd through Sunday, October 6th, planning to reopen Monday, October 7th. Sundays will resume in October, with the date to be announced. I have included a question and answer section that may help you navigate our limited library services. Follow us on Facebook or check our website for updates as well as activities our library staff will be hosting outside of the library. I also want to thank you for your patience as we prepare for easier and safer access to our library.

A messAge from LibrAry Director Dorothy swAin

Will my items be overdue?The dates on all Greenville items will be changed to the week we reopen. If your items are from another library (even if you picked them up here) they will still be due. You can return them to another library, or wait until we reopen and we will backdate them. We cannot change dates on items belonging to other libraries.

What will happen to my holds?We will not be getting any delivery while we are closed, so no holds will come in. You can choose to re-route your holds to another library. You can do this yourself through your online account or ask a staff member for assistance. The closest libraries in the area are: East Smithfield, Harmony and North Scituate.

Can I return items while you’re closed?No, we will not have access to the building or book drop, Please do not attempt to access the property while we are closed. You may return your items to another library if you choose. Special loan items must be returned here after we reopen.

The library will be closed from Sunday, September 22nd through Sunday, October 6th, planning to reopen on October 7th. Sundays will resume in October, with date to be announced.
