Fincastle Library closed Jan 2-20
The Fincastle Library branch will be closed January 2-20 for minor renovations, including new paint and carpet. During this period, the Fincastle branch cannot accept materials returns. Materials may be returned to any other library branch or at the library’s pickup/dropoff location inside the Botetourt Family YMCA (no membership required to access).
Since the collection will be in storage, requests for Fincastle Library materials cannot be filled during the closure. For incoming requested materials, staff will contact patrons with a Fincastle pickup location to identify an alternate pickup location. Phone calls will be automatically rerouted to other branches. Fincastle Library patrons needing assistance during the closure can contact or visit any other library branch. All Fincastle Library events and programs during this period will be canceled, rescheduled or relocated. Please check bocolibraries.info for further details and updates. Thank you for your patience and flexibility as we make improvements to the Fincastle Library facility!
