Library Closure Notice
Lincoln County Library closure
Closed until April 1 in response to COVID-19 concerns
by Lincoln County Library
March 16, 2020

PUBLIC NOTICE: Effective at 5PM today, Monday, March 16, the Lincoln County Library System will close all library locations to the public. These closures will remain in effect until at least April 1, or further notice, to help mitigate the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19).

This decision was made out of the utmost concern for the health, safety and well-being of library patrons, staff and the community. The scientific evidence that social distancing can help stop the spread of COVID-19 is a compelling factor in taking this precautionary step.

Public libraries have always been about community and the safety of our communities is paramount. We value your understanding of our decision during this challenging time.
During the closure, patrons are encouraged to use LCL’s online resources and services. Residents in LCL’s service area have access to FREE ebooks and audiobooks using their library cards through online services such as the overdrive and libby apps.

As the situation continues to evolve, LCL will follow mandates from Montana state Governor Steve Bolluck and Lincoln County Public Health in order to assess when it is safe to reopen our libraries.

All current checkouts will have their due date moved until April 7th and all available holds will remain on the shelf until we reopen.
