PACIFIC COUNTY — Our local Timberland Library remains alive and well. All five Pacific County branches are open for Library Takeout during the pandemic.

Items can be returned to local bookdrops and will be quarantined for 24 hours before being checked in. Patrons can place and pick up holds, retrieve prints and have items copied or faxed. Library Grab Bags can be requested at www.trl.org/grab-bag.

Several of the branches have “Take and Make” kits to provide entertainment at home for children and for adults, and virtual programs are available via Zoom. Scheduled events can be seen by accessing the Events Calendar at events.trl.org (For specifics, see “Virtual Programming” below). Staff are available and happy to help with questions or to place holds over the phone.
