Donations of new or gently used brown paper grocery bags would be much appreciated.

Please note: In order to safeguard the health of patrons and staff, STPL is quarantining all items for a minimum of 4 days after their return.  Once you return items to the Library, it may take 7 or more days for your items to be checked in and removed from your account.  You will not incur fines as items will be backdated to the day they were returned.  Please have patience during this process.
