What to Know Before You Come to the Library:
- We appreciate your patience and support as we safely welcome you back to STPL. All Library patrons, over the age of 2, are required to wear a mask. Masks MUST be worn over the nose and mouth for the entire duration of your visit. Patrons who are not able to wear a mask, that completely covers the nose and mouth, will not be permitted to remain in the Library and will be offered alternative pickup and virtual services. Please note, if you have received a vaccine for COVID-19, you are still required to wear a mask at the Library.
- Patrons are encouraged to keep their time in the Library as limited as possible.
- Browsing is limited to 30 minutes per day.
- Computer use is limited to one 45-minute session per day. Computers are available on a first come, first served basis and you must bring your library card with you to log on.
- Pickup service will remain available until further notice. To schedule a time to pickup materials, call 412-429-5380 during library hours.
