Richmond Memorial Library is closed to the public until further notice

By Billie Owens

Press release:

Below are the most recent updates from Richmond Memorial Library. We will send more information as it becomes available. 

Upon the recommendation of New York public health officials, the Richmond Memorial Library is closed to the public until further notice to minimize public interactions and the spread of this virus -- COVID-19.

Currently checked-out materials can be renewed online or by telephone, or returned to a library drop box. Due dates will be extended through May 18 via telephone renewal, and overdue fees will be waived on materials returned up to three weeks after our re-opening date, yet to be determined.

Online services are being highlighted and promoted, including streaming and downloadable services.

Other services which can be sustained while closed to the public are being considered by library administration and staff at the first available opportunity.

These measures will be updated regularly.

Thank you for helping to keep our community safe and healthy!
