Topsham Public Library’s operating hours are changing and we are excited to say that we are returning to our pre-shutdown hours. So, beginning today, Monday, August 3 our hours are:
Mondays 9am-5pm
Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays 9am-8pm
Fridays 9am-5pm
Saturdays 9am-4pm
Sundays closed.
We are seeing increased traffic every day, and it is so good to see you all! Though there is a limit of 20 people in the building at one time, we have not had to enforce it. You all have been really good about coming in, browsing without dilly-dallying and checking out. Even with some slight changes like requiring masks and sanitizing hands, it almost feels normal again.
Our meeting rooms and study rooms remain closed, but the public computers are available.
If you request items through interlibrary loan and you would rather not come into the library building to pick up your items when they’re ready, we are still offering parking lot pickup.
Due to CDC guidelines and protocols, we are only taking returns on Fridays beginning at noon through Sunday evenings through the outside drop boxes near the front doors. We are not assessing fines at this time, so don’t worry if you miss the deadline just return them the following weekend. (Returned items need to be quarantined, so we unlock the drop boxes Friday and noon and then lock them again early Monday morning. Then the items sit, untouched, for 72 hours, or more, before we check them in.)
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call us at (207) 725-1727.
Many of you have been so kind and expressed your appreciation that we are open. Let me assure you, we are as happy to see you as you are to see us!
