Along with the Library’s holiday hours, Director Susan Currie has announced plans to offer double borrowing limits on books, DVDs, CDs and audiobooks between December 16 and December 27 and said no items will be scheduled for return between December 15 and January 2.

"Our patrons truly rely on library services," Currie said.  "That's why it is so important that we are meeting their needs even when the building is closed.”

The Library will be closed:

•  Wednesday, December 24
•  Thursday, December 25
• Friday, December 26
• Sunday, December 28
• Wednesday, December 31
• Thursday, January 1

TCPL will reopen Friday, January 2 at 10 a.m..

Currie also noted that the Library’s online, educational and entertainment resources, including:  Mango Languages’ language-learning system, OverDrive’s free eBook and audiobook service, and TumbleBooks for children, are available 365 days a year, by logging on to the Library's website at http://tcpl.org.  A complete list of available resources can be accessed by selecting the “Virtual Library” link.
