Are You Open?

December 8th, 2009 Tana

When a winter storm is predicted, one question we get a lot is, “Are you open?”

Because we’re an essential city agency, we try to stay open no matter what. But we do occasionally close for severe weather. We expect to be open today for all regular working hours, but will be closed on Wednesday, December 9. We hope to be open regular working hours again on Thursday, December 10 but will post updates here, on Facebook, on Twitter, and on the City of Madison’s web site.

We recognize that returning library books or picking up holds are not top priority in winter storm weather. If you are unable to pick up a hold or return an item on time due to to unexpected library closures or extreme weather, please let us know. Our staff will do their best to credit any late charges or to replace lapsed holds - for today, tomorrow, and all days affected by exceptional weather.

And now is a good time to remind you that:

• any item returned to any book drop before we open is considered returned the previous day.
• you can renew most items online at http://www.madisonpubliclibrary.org (choose “LINKcat”) or via Telecirc at 242-4700. Items must be renewed by 10 p.m. on the day that they are due.
• you can call us or email us or chat online with a librarian if you have a question.

For more closing updates see the City of Madison news releases, the City of Madison Winter Portal and the Channel3 web site, or watch your local news.
