Please Note:
Our Doors Are Open!
Starting on Monday, March 22, 2021, the Madison County Library will allow patrons to come into the building. A mask is required, along with a temperature check, signing in, and using hand sanitizer at the door. Floors will be marked so that all will adhere to social distancing. We thank our patrons in advance for following our safety protocols. We are thrilled to have you back in our building! We have lots of new books and audiobooks available for check out. Our computers are available for 2 hour time periods and you are also invited to come in and use our wi-fi.
Wi-Fi Service is available, as always, 24 hours a day and seven days a week from our parking lot, so that you may sit in your car or on our benches and enjoy our connections.
You may send a fax, have copies made, or get something notarized, with or without an appointment. We will continue to offer curbside library orders (by phone or email) for your convenience, as well.
Curbside and Hours of Operation
