Update: Still closed

The Pember will remain closed until further notice. There’s no way to put a date on it until we see how the CoVid-19 pandemic plays out.

Please keep any library materials you have checked out. Nothing is due to be returned until at least the end of April . And there will be no fines charged.

CoVid-19 and the library

CoVid-19 information and guidelines are changing daily, sometimes hourly. The information in the Granville Sentinel was written last week before we were asked not to allow curbside service. Our not-for-profit organization was determined to be one of those needing to reduce our workforce by 100%. I can retrieve messages left on the library phone and respond from home if appropriate and I see the FaceBook page and get email while I am home. I apologize for any confusion.

Still Closed :(

The Pember will be closed from 3/16 through 3/31 due to the current Covid-19 Pandemic. We will then re-evaluate and make a decision to remain closed or to reopen.

Please remember you can use the Libby/Overdrive app on your devices to checkout e-books and e-audiobooks using your library card. You can still access our WiFi (Library Wireless) directly outside the library building.

You can also access the Pember Museum collection digitally at the following link: https://pember.pastperfectonline.com/

NO books are due until the end of April. Please keep them at home and return them when we re-open.

We can answer questions by phone.
