- Children’s Room visits require an appointment. Appointments are for a single family/household. All children under 10 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. All children over 2 must wear a face mask while in the building. We ask that if you cannot make your appointed time to please call ahead and cancel so others will have a chance to enjoy this service. To book an appointment for the Children's Room please email us at ask@westnewburylibrary.org or call the library at 978-363-1105. If you book by email, your appointment is NOT confirmed until you receive a confirmation email from us.
Curbside pickup will continue to be available for anyone who chooses not to enter the building. Curbside hours remain the same: Monday 10-7 pm, Tuesday through Friday 10 – 4 pm, and Saturday 9-1 pm. For more information on Curbside Pickup, click here.
There are times we might reach capacity limits. To make space in the building for other patrons, we are asking everyone to limit their time in the library to 30 minutes or less and be mindful of other patrons as you browse, both to maintain physical distance and to move on when you’re finished to allow other patrons access to library materials.
Stay home if you are sick. If you are feeling ill, awaiting the results for a COVID-19 test, or have come in contact with someone who has tested positive or is awaiting the results of a test, please cancel your appointment.
We thank you for your patience as we transition to this new phase and we look forward to serving you!
