building is currently closed. Limited curbside pickup of materials will begin June 18. Please explore our digital offerings. We have ebooks, eaudios, downloadable magazines, free movie streaming, foreign language courses and more. We will be adding to our digital collection and increasing the monthly limit of Kanopy video streams to 50 per patron. If you need help accessing our digital items, please email us at chil_mail@clamsnet.org with “digital help” in the subject and your name and phone number in the message. This situation is rapidly evolving and we are making daily assessments as to the appropriate responses. We will keep you apprised through our website and Facebook page. Meanwhile, we encourage you to do your part to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. Maintain social distance at all times, always wear a face covering when inside any public space. If you’re not feeling well, please stay home and seek medical attention, as appropriate. Practice good hygiene and hand washing. These healthy habits really do make a difference when it comes to preventing the spread of illness. Finally, please use trusted, reliable, authoritative sources as you seek out news and information about COVID-19, such as the Center for Disease Control and Prevention https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health https://www.mass.gov/resource/information-on-the-outbreak-of-coronavirus-disease-2019-covid-19 Be well, stay safe, Your Chilmark Library Team 508-645-3360 chil_mail@clamsnet.org
