From the director of the Howell Carnegie District Library

Holly Ward Lamb

In the interest of public health, beginning Friday, March 13, at 5 p.m., the Howell Carnegie District Library is closed. Until further notice, HCDL will be closed to the public. Watch howelllibrary.org for information and updates.

Things to know:
  • No late fees will be charged during this time.
  • We are working on extending all due dates.
  • The book returns will remain open.
  • We are working on ways to allow limited access for holds pickup.
As a library community, we know how important having an open library is to all members of our community, as a safe place to exist for free and a central access point for many print and Internet resources. Although contrary to our library culture, closing the library to the public is a necessary step to preserve public health and help stop the spread of disease. I apologize for any inconvenience.
Be safe-
Holly Ward Lamb, Director
