Bucks County Free Library announced it has been closely monitoring information about the coronavirus, and is actively taking steps to help protect its staff and library users and reduce the spread of the virus.
All Bucks County Free Library branches will be closed beginning today, through Sunday, March 22. At that time, it will evaluate whether it can reopen. In the interim, due dates will be adjusted accordingly and fine accrual will be suspended.
In addition, all library-sponsored programs and meeting room bookings are canceled through Saturday, April 4. This includes group events and individual technology help appointments. Any group that cancels a meeting room booking will be fully refunded.
The library will continue to follow the guidance of local, county and state governments and the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control. When the time comes, the library will provide updates through its website and social media.
In the meantime, there are several ways to access the library from home:
– Use the e-library to borrow ebooks, e-audiobooks and e-magazines, and stream music and videos
– Keep up with the news by reading The New York Times or use NewsBank to access news from publications around the world
– Learn something new, sharpen your skills, or get tips on working from home with online courses from Lynda.com (LinkedIn Learning)
