Contactless Pick-up Continues

With the continuing pandemic our library doors remain locked against your visits for browsing and programs. We are please to continue modified services for borrowing materials with contactless pick-up. We accept requests for materials you seek to borrow by phone and online form. Of course, OWWL system holds placed online are processed each weekday, too. OWWL system-wide deliveries from the 41 other OWWL libraries to OPL have been increased to three deliveries a week!

More information about scheduling your pick-up is here.

Patrons without internet access are welcome to call the library at 315-524-8381 to request materials.

Please continue to return library materials in the outside bookdrop open 24/7, located in back of Town/Library Complex.
