It’s our job to be open to the best of our ability to provide the services and materials patrons need.”
Library access during summer months allows GCPL to offer additional programs. Moreover, patrons who have a need for meeting space now may use library facilities – complete with air-conditioning and WiFi seven days a week. As always, patrons will have full access to the collection.
