CDL is making every effort to safely provide materials and resources during the evolving COVID-19 situation. Consider making use of digital collections and online resources.
CDL is currently in Stage 3 of its reopening plan. Curbside Pickup is available Mon–Fri 10am–6pm, and Saturdays 10am–3pm with our new fine-free lending model! The CDL Management Team and Board of Directors have been hard at work to plan to safely reopen your library. Please click here for further details.
The CDL staff are dedicated to providing accurate information about COVID-19, as well as fun resources to keep busy in this period of social distancing. We miss our community, but will make every effort to stay in touch while the library is closed via the website, virtual programs, eNewsletters, video updates, and social media.
