Library Closure Effective 3/16/2020 until Further Notice

To our library community:

With an abundance of caution amid the quickly-evolving COVID-19 situation, we have made the difficult decision to close the Pacific Grove Public Library beginning March 16, in effect until further notice. This is in line with Monterey County's Shelter in Place declaration. 

Staff will be available via email during this time. You can reach us at: referencedesk@cityofpacificgrove.org to answer questions and help you navigate our online resources.  Through our website: https://www.pacificgrovelibrary.org/explore , you can listen to an audiobook, watch a movie, or read a magazine. We encourage you to keep the items you have checked out, we will be extending due dates and waiving fines. All items on Hold will be frozen. No new holds will be processed but no old holds will be canceled. Holds will be reinstated when library services resume. Please call us at 831-648-5760, or 831-648-5762 to leave a message and we will return your call.

We are working on ways to continue to serve you. In the next week, look to Facebook for story times and yoga sessions!  Stay tuned for updates.

Thank you,
Diana Godwin
Interim Library Director
