To Our Library Community:
In an effort to ensure the health and safety of our staff and visitors, all Town facilities, including Little Elm Public Library, are closed to the public until April 1st. The following public services are suspended until further notice: regular and special programs, classes, meetings, exam proctoring, Makerspace requests, volunteering, and printing, faxing, copying, and scanning. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes.
To assist library users during this time, 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.
-
Interlibrary Loans: all ILL services are suspended; currently checked out ILLs cannot be renewed, and should 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 7:30am-5:30pm, 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.
-
Hold Requests: Items placed on hold will be checked out to you in advance; you will receive a call or email when ready for curbside pickup. Please bring your library card or photo ID for pickup.
-
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 a 90-day e-card. Click here to register.
