All programs, events and meeting room bookings canceled in March
Due to current guidance from public health officials and in the interest of protecting the high-risk populations we serve
and the high-risk populations who volunteer for us, as of Saturday, March 7, we are canceling all programs and events for the month of March, including Homework Help, tech classes, story times, Tax Help, book clubs and author events. The Library has also canceled
all Bookmobile service. All external meetings scheduled in Library meeting rooms will be canceled or rescheduled.
Planning ahead
The Library is re-evaluating its services daily and planning for future scenarios, including developing staffing and service
models should we need to reduce services at any locations. Patrons can stay updated on changes to Library services on
our website. We have a
special page for coronavirus updates. You can also follow the Library on
Twitter and
Facebook to stay updated.
Digital resources
During this challenging time, we wanted to encourage you to check out the Library’s many online
books and media and
other resources including e-books and e-audiobooks; streaming TV, movie and music services; online classes; and digital subscriptions to newspapers and magazines.
We know these changes will impact our patrons. We will work hard to keep communicating with you about changes and get your
pressing questions answered. Please share questions or concerns with Library staff, either at one of our locations or via the Library’s digital Ask Us platform at
www.spl.org/ask.
In the meantime, you can also stay informed through some of the region’s best resources on this crisis, including include
Public Health – Seattle & King County, the
Washington State Department of Health and
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Sincerely,
