News @ UPVL!
Library Service Updates - Building Closed
The library is currently offering CURBSIDE PICKUP ONLY. The building is not open to the public. We are taking this action with an abundance of caution as COVID cases and hospitalizations continue to rise in our community. We will re-evaluate the situation in mid-January.
While our buildings are closed, we will continue to offer telephone reference services, curbside pickup, and our online resources and virtual programs.
The book return box at the top of the ramp is open 24 hours for returns. Returned materials will be quarantined a minimum of 48 hours so you will still see them on your account for a few days after returning them. No fines will be charged for the quarantine days.
We are not accepting book donations at this time.
We are not offering in-library computer use at this time.
Curbside Pickup
You may place electronic orders through our Search the Catalog button above. When you are notified that your materials have arrived, please call the library to arrange for curbside pickup. Your request may take longer as our volume of hold requests is significantly higher and we are quarantining returned books a minimum of 48-72 hours.
30th Annual Wine Tasting
The Wine Tasting is going virtual this year- help us Raise the Roof!
Starts Monday, February 1
As conditions continue to be unsafe for large gatherings, we're saddened to have to postpone our annual wine tasting event for the year. However, in an effort to still come together virtually and offer our patrons a fun event this winter, we've created a virtual dinner party and wine tasting series in support of a new roof needed for our library building!
