In order to better serve you, Linebaugh Public Library will be undergoing renovations from Saturday, August 25, until Wednesday, August 29. During this time, the library will be closed and no services will be available. Linebaugh Public Library will reopen on Thursday, August 30.

Though the library will not be open during those days, materials placed on hold at the main branch may still be picked up at the back door book drop-off area (by Church Street pull off) during normal working hours. Simply ring the buzzer, and someone will be right with you!

All other branches will be operating on their regular schedules. We thank you for your patience as we make some exciting new changes!
