COVID-19 Virus Precautions

After 3 PM on March 17, Carpenter-Carse Library will close to the public.

We are closing until Monday, June 1 to ensure the safety of our community and our staff.

We encourage you to contact us if you need reading material or DVDs but don’t want to come to the library. We can deliver materials to you at your home, or we can meet you in the parking lot if you don’t want to come into the library. As long as they are not interlibrary loans, we encourage you to take your time with materials if you don’t want to come back to the library, or to use the dropbox outside to return them. Call us and leave a message 482-2878 or email us at library@carpentercarse.org
