Trustee petitions are now available at the library for you to pick up and return by March 23. For more information, go to www.middleburghlibrary.info and click on “Become a Trustee.”

Partial reopening

We are opening our doors to patrons. You can come in and browse the stacks, use the computer, print, make copies, or fax at half hour blocks. We will continue to provide curbside service.

Please note: We can only have 10 people inside the library at a time. At this time there is no seating and no public restrooms. Masks are required at all times while in the library and gloves (provided) must be used handling  books. We look forward to seeing you!

Our group is a place to sit quietly in safety, supported by others; to allow understanding and compassion to arise; to encourage loving-kindness and patience.
