Corona Virus Update

Library Corona Virus Response

All Ste. Genevieve County Library locations will close beginning Wednesday, March 18th and will reopen as soon as it is safe to do so. All Tuesday programs including Story Time and Book Club have been canceled as well.

This has been a difficult decision for the Library, but it has been made considering all of the best advice from federal, state, and local public health officials. We know that libraries are vital hubs in our communities, so our default is to assume we should be open to serve especially in difficult times. But we also value the well-being of our patrons and staff above all else. The only way we can ensure that in our libraries is by closing our facilities.

All due dates will be extended through April 10th. We will also be pulling our book drop, so please keep your materials until the Library reopens.

We know there is no substitute for a visit to your local library, and we are committed to getting our buildings reopened as soon as it is safe. In the meantime we will be working to find ways to increase what we can offer during the closure and we will communicate with you as anything changes.

Thank you for all of your support of Ste. Genevieve County Library. We hope to see you soon.

Shawn Long
Library Director
