Building remains closed and curbside service only
The Library Building Remains Closed and We Will Continue to Offer Curbside Service Only
The library will continue to offer Curbside Service only for the foreseeable future. We are sad to report that we have several employees who are in various stages of quarantine for COVID-19. The good news is that none of our patrons have been exposed. At this time, we only have adequate staff to provide Curbside Service.
Curbside Service will be available as follows:
Monday through Saturday: 9 AM to 4 PM
We hope to be able to extend our hours and welcome patrons back into the building as soon as possible. We appreciate your patience and understanding. Please call us at 815-678-4014 or e-mail us at nippersink@nippersinklibrary.org to request materials. Staff are available to take your calls Monday through Saturday between 9 AM and 5 PM.
The library will be open as a polling place on Election Day, Tuesday, November 3, but will be closed for Curbside Service. Polling hours are 6 AM to 7 PM. Curbside service will resume on Wednesday, November 4.
Book Drops:
All materials must be returned to the outside book drops. Please do not bring materials into the building. All returned items must be quarantined for seven days so there will be a delay before items are checked in and removed from your library card.
Book Donations: We are not currently accepting donations. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
We may cease in person services if:
The State of Illinois reverts back to Phase 3 of the Restore Illinois Plan
The library district or McHenry County sees a significant increase in COVID-19 cases
We are advised by County or State health officials to cease in-person operations
A staff member or immediate family member tests positive for COVID-19
A patron who has been in the building and tests positive for COVID-19 reports this information to the library
The library can no longer procure adequate PPE for staff or is unable to maintain the necessary cleaning protocols
Any other reasons deemed relevant and necessary by the Board of Trustees and the Library Director.
For more information on Grab and Go or Curbside Service.
