The Avon Free Library Board of Trustees has issued a Request For Proposals (RFP) for an architectural redesign of our backyard space. Please email Rebecca Budinger-Mulhearn, Director of the Avon Free Library, at rbudinger@pls-net.org to receive a copy of the RFP. Submission deadline is May 10th, 2021.

This project is a partnership with the Village of Avon and is financed in part by a New York Main Street Grant.

• 30 Minute Visits,
• All Areas of the Library (limited occupancy),
• Masks Required,
• Sanitize Hands and/or Wear Gloves,
• Maintain Social Distance.

The library is open for other services including: contactless pick-up, computer & WiFi use, and copy/scan/fax services, and our book drop is open for returns of library materials. The contactless pick-up service allows you up to 7 holds on your account.

Also of note:

• Items returned to the book drop will be quarantined for at least 72 hours before staff check them in, so you will see a delay in items being removed from your account, but without penalty.
• Due dates and accrual of late fines are extended to September 30^th for items checked out before March 15th. However, we encourage you to bring back completed items so we can get them ready for the next user.
• Library card accounts will not expire for the time being.
• Our OWWL2go services including e-books and audio e-books through OWWL2Go, Ancestry.com, and Mango Languages are still available online.
• We are exploring ways to bring you other modified services, so stay tuned for details.

Call the library, visit our website at avonfreelibrary.org, and follow us on Facebook. Thank you for your understanding and stay healthy.
