***UPDATE 3/14/20***
On Friday, Governor Tom Wolf announced that all K-12 Pennsylvania schools will be closed for ten business days effective Monday, March 16. Consistent with the Governor’s efforts to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus, all public libraries across Pennsylvania should follow this guidance.
Therefore, all Susquehanna County Historical Society & Free Library Association locations will be closed beginning Monday, March 16, as recommended by Governor Wolf.
The Wolf Administration will continue to monitor COVID-19 in the Commonwealth, and at the end of ten days will reevaluate and decide whether continued closure is needed. Plans at this time are to reopen our facilities on Monday, March 30, at 9 a.m.
All items currently checked out to our patrons will be renewed until a date of Tuesday, April 7. Should libraries remain closed for longer than that date, items will be extended.
All meetings and events scheduled for any of our facilities from Monday, March 16 through Sunday, March 29 will not take place as our buildings will be closed.
As always, Thank you for your understanding and support.
