We would like to encourage our patrons to consider searching our catalog online and place holds on items (books, audios, DVDs) that you want to check out. (Tutorial below) Give us a call when you're ready to come pick up your materials, and we'll meet you at the door with your check outs!
If you prefer not to use the online catalog to search and place holds, give us a call! 802-888-4628. We'll help you select items of interest and get them ready for you to pick up.
Additionally, our Friends of the Library group has offered a delivery to senior citizens in Hyde Park who might not be able to get out to check out their items. We will make those arrangements here at the library, so if you are interested in delivery, please call us: 888-4628
If you are interested in these services, but don't have a Library Card with us, please call us 888-4628 and we can set up your library card by phone!
We would also like to assure you that we are setting up a system to disinfect all of our returned materials, which includes cleaning the outside of the material and not placing the item back into circulation for 24 hours.
Our patrons can return their items in the slot outside the door on Church Street. If you need more time, you can renew online, or give us a call.
With the Hyde Park Partners in Education and the Friends of the LML, we've started a "Giving Tree" under the oak tree in front of the Library. Understanding how difficult it might be for some people to get what they need...you can: "Take If You Need and Give If You Can"
Please remember to wash your hands, don't touch your face, keep 6 feet of social distance, and get your information from reliable sources (like the links on the right of the home page on our website).
And of course, PLEASE be kind to each other. It is difficult for us to feel that we are not able to be at full capacity for our community, but my professional motto of being Director of the Lanpher Memorial Library in Hyde Park, VT is to adapt our services to meet the needs of our community. Right now we need to do this.
With Care and a Hurting Heart,
Amy Olsen
