The Richfield Springs Public Library is going fine free on all items except DVDs. Please see the updated Circulation Policy (Section on Fines) under the Board of Trustees Page. DVD fines are still $1.00 per day for overdue fees.
Online Library Card Registration
If you don’t have a library card with us or the Four County Library System and would like to take advantage of all they have available, but can’t stop into the library right now, follow this link to sign up for a temporary card.
Four County Library system has a lot to offer online as well as in the libraries themselves. Once you sign up for the temporary card, we will be notified, and set you up with a permanent card, which you can pick up at the library, or we can mail it to you.
Fourth of July closures
The library will be closed Saturday, July 3rd, and Monday July 5th in honour of Independence Day.
Have a safe and happy holiday weekend!
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.
