Sussex County libraries restoring limited services

Posted

GEORGETOWN — The three Sussex County owned and 11 independent libraries are now accepting checked-out materials at each location.
Patrons now can return books, DVDs, and other media at each facilities’ book drop.’ Returned materials, however, will not be immediately checked-in available; items instead will be quarantined to reduce exposure to any potential virus or other contaminants.

While the facilities remain closed to public access until further notice, each library will begin curbside service for books, audio and video materials later in June. The variety of virtual programs will expand and will include the annual Summer Reading Program.

Library staff remind the public that they can still access free wireless broadband Internet service via the ‘Library-Outdoors’ network at each location. Lastly, all libraries have suspended late fees/fines through Labor Day. These measures are based on the latest guidance from public health and emergency management officials, and may change as conditions warrant.
