Mask Mandate

Please note, despite the new mask mandate, the Richfield Springs Public Library still requires a mask to be worn when you come into the library. As we serve patrons who are still at-risk, until the COVID-19 vaccine is available to all individuals, we ask that you adhere to our requirements.
 
If you are working at the computers, or in the memorial room at the tables, you are welcome to remove your mask.
 
Thank you for your cooperation.

Seeking Library Volunteers

The library is seeking volunteers for programming and working the circulation desk. If you are interested in helping out at the library, please fill out the application in the link below and return it to Mindy’s E-mail, rs.mindy@4cls.org, or bring it into the library.
 
Help is mainly needed on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays 11am – 5pm, and Tuesdays from 11am – 4:30pm. You do not need to work those full hours, the more volunteers we can get, the merrier! We are flexible.
 

The library is open!

The library is now open!  However, patron computers with printing capabilities are unavailable for now.
