New Library Hours

Beginning July 1, Germantown Community Library will open a half-hour earlier six days per week.

New library hours are from 9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and 1 to 6 p.m. on Sundays.

Book Friends Now Open Saturdays

The Friends of the Germantown Community Library have opened Book Friends, a bookstore inside the library. The store sells gently used books at discounted prices. 

The book store is open Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Tuesday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The inventory of the bookstore is made up of gently used books, audio books, movies and CDs. Crain said there are about 800 to 900 books for sale at any time. Prices at Book Friends range from $.50 to $3. Each week, there are three to four special sale sections. 

Anyone wishing to become a volunteer at the bookstore should fill out a volunteer application, available from the library. For more information on Book Friends, call 309-5200.

Finding out your book is due at the library is now just a click away. The library is utilizing an e-mail notification system to alert patrons three days before books are due.

The system is only available to patrons with a valid e-mail address on file at the library so visit the library to make address changes or be added to the list.

The library will keep all e-mail addresses private and will not sell or share e-mail information with any other group or organization. E-mail notifications will be used only to remind patrons three days prior to a book being due and as a first reminder of overdue materials.

Library staff will mail notices when books are overdue at one, two and three weeks. Call 757-7323 for more information.
