Masks For All
A message from the Library Board of Directors: Masks are still required for all who visit OPL.
Since many of our members and visitors are children, who are not yet able to be vaccinated, we have decided to continue our current policies and procedures requiring masks for all through the WCSD 2020-2021 school year.
Any change to Board guidance regarding wearing masks will be shared as we get closer to June 25. Effective Wednesday May 19, 2021

We’re staying open longer for residents who want to visit after 5:00pm. New hours are:
Monday & Tuesday : 10am-7pm / Wednesday, Thursday, Friday: 10am-5pm
