The St Charles Library will continue to provide limited services until April 13 or further notice. We will be staffed Monday – Friday until 6:00pm. No Saturday hours until after Easter.
COVID-19 is disrupting the day to
day activities of all community members. The St Charles Public Library
seeks to protect our community health by implementing a few changes to
how we serve the community. We are hoping to continue meeting as many
information and entertainment needs as possible in the coming days,
while discouraging behaviors that might speed the spread of the virus.
Per the Minnesota Department of Health’s recommendation for social distancing, we will temporarily implement walk-up service beginning Wednesday March 18. Patrons are encouraged to place requests for items through the library’s website or the BookMyne app. Library staff will pull requested items from the shelves and will meet individuals at the front doors. During this time, browsing of the collection, use of public computers, and seating will be unavailable to the public. Library programs will also be canceled through the end of May.
Library Services that will remain unchanged: –Libby app to download ebooks and audiobooks from home –BookMyne app to request items or renew items from home –24 hour book return (all library materials can be returned through the drop box door ) –Book suggestions from library staff via email, phone, or Facebook -Requests can be placed either on www.selco.info or calling the library at 932-3227
Thank you for your understanding St. Charles Public Library Staff
SELCO has set up a list of free sites that patrons can use from home. Go to home/Services for Libraries/online resources. It should show up on the SELCO.info home page.
My name is Harrison Gruber and I am in the 9th grade. I am a boy scout in Troop 54 and working toward my Eagle Rank. My project is sewing sustainable and reusable bags called “Boomerang bags” for the St Charles Public Library.
I am in need of help cutting, ironing, and sewing these bags on Saturday February 29 from 9am-1pm and March 1st from 1pm-4pm at Faith Lutheran Church. Please bring fabric scissors if you have any.
The staff and board of the St. Charles Public Library invite you to stop in to check out everything the library has to offer this school year – and enjoy a free cupcake too.
