Starting April 18, Advocate Will Be Temporarily Closed
Starting Saturday, April 18, our Advocate location will be temporarily closed. The last day for library service, before the closure, will be Friday, April 17. The library book drop will remain open.
This closure is due to staff shortages as we try to find a new Advocate Branch Library Assistant.
At this time, we ask Advocate patrons to redirect holds to another location for pickup. If you need assistance with this, please call one of our other locations. Branch contact information can be found here.
If you are unable to visit another location, our Borrow By Mail service can accommodate your library needs. To register for Borrow By Mail, please fill out the form here, or call 902-667-2549 (ext. 228).
We greatly appreciate your patience over the coming days as we work to reopen the library.
