Opening Guidelines

Rules on Entering the Library - Browse, Grab, and Go!

Open to patrons - 4 patrons allowed into the library at one time. Please try to limit one family member per household.  Please do not bring children (under age 7) as we have limited space capabilities.

Library Hours Monday-Friday 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm and closed weekends.

Technology - Computers, scanning, faxing, and printing are available. If you need to scan or fax, please let staff perform this action for you.

Reserve Pickup - Reserves are available to pick up from the table in front of the checkout desk.  Please come in, tear your papers off, and leave on the front desk.  This allows us to check you out with your card or scanning each item!

Virtual Programs continue to be held on the Melissa Public Library Facebook
