Re-Opening the Library
The Herrick Memorial Library is in its next phase of returning to regular library service. Beginning on October 5, the Library will allow a limited number of people in the building at any given time from 10:00am to 6:30pm, Monday through Thursday, and 10:00am to 3:30, Friday and Saturday, to browse for books and use the computers. People entering the Library will be required during their visit to wear a face mask covering the nose, mouth and chin, have their temperatures checked and answer some health questions. This is to protect the public and library staff. The public will be allowed to quickly search for reading materials (30 minutes) and check them out. It is advised for those who need to use one of our computers to make an appointment by calling the library at 440-647-2120 because the Library has limited the number of computers for use. The staff still offers ‘Curbside Service’ and ‘Telephone/Email Reference’ for patrons who are uncomfortable entering the library.

If you would like for your child to receive a weekly story-time packet, please call the Library at 440-647-2120 and register your child/children. A packet will be prepared for each child you sign up. We will run 7 weeks of videos for this session. Video links are posted above and on facebook.
