Responding to Covid-19
Updated May 27, 2020
Beginning March 17th, in the interest of public health, the Silver Falls Library District will temporarily close to the public to help slow the spread of COVID-19.
The closure will remain in effect until further notice. We will continue to consult with the Governor’s Office, Oregon Health Authority, and the Centers for Disease Control for guidance about when and how we can safely reopen. The Library Board’s current plan is to operate in tandem with the Silver Falls School Districts decisions surrounding closure.
While in-person services and spaces are not available, the Library will continue to serve you through our Virtual Library services, available 24/7 from where you are. These online resources include free e-books, e-audiobooks, movies, research databases and more! For tutorials on how to use some of the library’s online services, please click the green resource guide on the right hand side of the page of the CCRLS catalog page: https://catalog.ccrls.org/
The library has now started curbside pickup! Patrons who have held material waiting for them need to call 503-873-5173 about 20 minutes prior to coming for pickup. Click here for curbside pickup schedule and more information.
If you do not want to do curbside pickup, your hold requests will remain on the shelf until the library reopens. The book drop is open again. Patrons will not be charged for late items at this time.
We are open for phone calls during these times:
Updated Hours (7/7/2020)
Tuesday through Thursday 10 am—6:00 pm
Friday 10 am—5:30 pm
