To Our Library Community:
In an effort to ensure the health and safety of our staff and visitors, during our COVID-19 closure, the following public services are suspended until further notice: regular and special in-person programs, classes, meetings, exam proctoring, notary services, Makerspace requests, volunteering, donations, and printing, faxing, copying, and scanning. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes.
To assist library users during our closure, we have updated our policies:
-
Due Dates: All materials have been set to automatically renew for an additional three weeks to avoid overdues and account blocks. We do not charge overdue fines.
-
Hold Requests: Items placed on hold will be checked out to you in advance; you will receive a call or email when ready for delivery or curbside pickup. Please bring your library card or photo ID for pickup.
-
Interlibrary Loans: All ILL requests are suspended; currently checked out ILLs may be returned via the outside book drops.
-
Book Drops: A mobile book drop is located in front of the Little Elm Town Hall building from 8:30am-5:00pm, Monday through Friday. There is also a curbside book drop on the east side of the Little Elm Town Hall which is accessible 24/7.
-
Expired Library Cards: Cards expiring in 2019 and 2020 will be automatically renewed to allow uninterrupted use of online resources. Remember: to log in to your account, your username is the entire card number, and your password/PIN is the last 4 digits of your card number.
-
Digital Resources: Digital resources including e-books, e-audio, e-magazines, streaming content, languages, learning resources, and online databases are available via our Digital Library page.
-
E-Card: Don't have a library card? You can still access many of our online resources with an e-card, good through Jan. 4, 2021. Click here to register.
