Libraries closed until further notice

As state and municipal governments increasingly move toward ordering people to shelter in place to blunt the spread of COVID-19, Pioneer Library System will remain closed until further notice.

The safety and wellness of our customers and staff remains our top priority at PLS. We know the Library is a critical resource for all our customers, so we continue to take steps to support our customers as much as possible during this temporary closure:

All fines continue to be waived, and due dates extended until we reopen.

The Library is working to expand access to e-books and increase awareness of our vast array of online resources. Please connect here or through our PLS Connect App.

Ask Us will continue to be available to answer library questions.

This is an unprecedented time and we are grateful for your continued support and patience. Please continue to monitor our website and social media pages for further information and digital programming and activities.

Experience the world from home

We've compiled a plethora of virtual activities for families to check out while they are home practicing social distancing!

Special thanks to our friends at the Pflugerville (Texas) Public Library for some of these suggestions.

And keep an eye out in this space for more ideas as they become available and as we hear about them.
