The library will offer limited library services 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday, March 16, through Wednesday, March 18, at the drive-up window. No services will be available Thursday, March 19. Announcements will be made this week about services after March 19. The library building will continue to be closed to the public until further notice.

Please do not use any library services if you are sick or have been in contact with someone who is sick, and continue to follow CDC guidelines for preventive measures like social distancing and increased hygiene practices.

• Due dates will be extended to May 1. Fines will not be charged until the library resumes full services. Patrons will still be responsible for lost or damaged items. Please contact the library if you have questions about your account.
• Patrons may pick up holds and return materials using the drive-up window and dropboxes along Richland Street. Holds can be placed using our online catalog or the RSAcat Mobile app. Games, equipment, puzzles, or kits will not be available to check out but should be returned directly to staff at the drive-up window.
• The drive-up window and dropboxes are limited to patrons in vehicles. Patrons without access to a vehicle may contact the library for details about how to receive requested materials and return items.
• All returned materials will be sanitized and quarantined for three days.
• Staff will be available by phone, chat, and email during open hours to answer questions and take requests for materials.
• Tax forms will be available in the Civic Complex Atrium while supplies last. Patrons may contact the library for printouts of other tax forms to pick up at the drive-up window.
• In addition to the Little Free Library in the Reading Garden, an expanded Little Free Library will be available in the Atrium M-F 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Online resources like Peoria Journal Star Digital Image Edition, Mango languages, and GCF LearnFree are also available at fondulaclibraorg/research/.

We appreciate your patience during this time. All of the changes we’re making are proactive, precautionary measures to “flatten the curve” and are not due to any known COVID-19 exposure.
