Temporary Main Branch Closure
Main Branch Closure
October 15, 2024
To our patrons and community members:
The Main Branch of Nelson County Public Library will open to the public on October 30th for normal business hours. On October 29th, from 4 to 6 pm, the public is invited to join us as we reveal our new Bookmobile.
While our physical location is closed, the book drop will remain accessible to patrons to return any library materials and we will remain committed to serving our community. No overdue charges will accrue during this time.
While closed, the following services will be available:
- Online Resources: Our digital library, including e-books, audiobooks, movies, music and online databases, will remain accessible 24/7 at ncplky.org
- Off Site Programs: We will continue to offer some programs, at alternate locations. Check website for more info.
- Alternative Locations: The New Haven and Bloomfield Branches will remain open at this time with access to wifi and computers.
We understand the inconvenience this closure may cause and appreciate your understanding and patience as we work to restore our facilities. The Nelson County Public Library has always been a cornerstone of our community, and we are committed to reopening as soon as possible.
