As the library begins slowly re-opening, we are reaching out to our patrons seeking overdue materials. We are excited to be able to extend a grace period to our patrons. If you return overdue items (Yes! That includes that library book you took out in 2019) before March 15, 2021 there will be no late fees!

Thank you for your ongoing support of the Olive G. Pettis Memorial Library – we appreciate your patronage!

Dear Patrons:

It is with an overabundance of caution we are limiting entrance to the library to one family at a time. Please, no more than two members per family browsing at a time, additional family members are welcomed to wait in the lobby area.

Patrons have 15 minutes in the library to browse materials

Computer access is available in 30 minute increments

To enter please:

1) Sanitize hands        2) Put on provided gloves if you plan to browse items         3) Wear a mask

4) Ring the bell (Looks like an apple) and wait for confirmation it is okay to enter. If there are other patrons you may be asked to wait in the lobby until the main area is free.

5) Upon entering the library, follow social distancing guidelines (6 feet)                 6) Throw away gloves and re-sanitize hands

Thank you for your continued support!  Curbside services are also available. Please call OGPL at 603-863-6921 for more information on curbside services.
