Mill Valley Public Library Closed From March 16-29

From the City of Mill Valley:

March 15, 2020

To help prevent the spread of COVID-19 and out of concern for the safety of staff as well as the public, the Mill Valley Public Library will CLOSE starting Monday, March 16th through Sunday, March 29th.

As soon as possible, we hope to make curbside pickup of holds available and are also investigating home delivery of holds. Our staff are still available to answer questions by phone (415-389-4292) and email. The Library also offers many digital resources that can be enjoyed without physically coming to the Library. Read eBooks and listen to eAudiobooks, check out eMagazines to read on your devices, bypass the New York Times's website paywall, stream video through Kanopy, and more. Find instructions on setup of these services here.
