​We have some restrictions in place, so let's get those out of the way. They are:
  1. People can only enter and exit through the doors at the front of the building (the Noble Rd. Entrance). The door by the parking lot will be locked. 
  2. People can only enter if they are wearing a mask. We are not allowing people in who are not wearing a mask.
  3. At this time, only the lobby will be open. The children's area downstairs, the computer area, and the teen room will be closed off and people will not be allowed to enter those areas. We are not letting people browse the shelves either. We hope to open them again soon. 
  4. We will only be allowing seven (7) people in the building at a time. Anyone in the building will be asked to follow Social Distancing practices while inside.
  5. We are asking that people return materials to our book drop on the parking lot rather than dropping them off inside. We have extended all due dates, so folks shouldn't be worried about overdue stuff.
So those are the restrictions. But we are offering the following services to people:
  1. Copying, Scan-and-Email, and Faxing services. These machines have been moved to the lobby and staff can help if anyone needs assistance.
  2. We have printed Federal and Ohio tax forms and Voter Registration forms for people can take with them. We can also print out other types forms if people ask.
  3. Folks who wish to check out books and DVDs can call us at 216-291-5665 and have a librarian find items for them. We can place these things on-hold on their library cards and take them off the shelf for them. People can come in a pick them up in the lobby later. 
    1. For now, we can only get items available at a Heights Library branch. Items from other library systems (e.g. Cleveland Public, Shaker) are unavailable for now.
    2. If people cannot enter the building because of a disability or do not have a mask, we can arrange a curb-side pick-up time for them to come get materials . We will check their request out to their card, and they can stop by in the parking lot later and pick up their books. We will ask for a description of the person's car,what time they want to pick up their things and ask that they call us when they arrive. 
  4. On a related note, we have a plethora of digital resources available for people to use. Movies, music, e-books, audiobooks, you name it we probably have it. These can be accessed anytime on your computer or smartphone. Our Facbook page is also full of online story times for kids and programs for adults like our 1619 Project Discussions about slavery in American history (an especially relevant topic right now).  
  5. Lastly, starting Tues. June 16th we are doing a Summer Reading Program for children, teens, and adults. It can be accessed at this web address: https://heightslibrary.beanstack.org/reader365. As always, there will be prizes available for participants.
We are limited in what we can offer in the building right now, but we hope to have our other services available (especially the computers and printers) as soon as it is safe to have them again. We have missed you all and hope to see you all again soon.

If you have any questions please call us at 216-291-5665.
