Decatur Public
Library has been closed to the public since Monday, March 16th and
we don’t know when we will be able to re-open. To say the month of March has
been distressing and disruptive is a major understatement. But while the
physical library building is closed, we want you to know that DPL is still
ready and able to serve you. We have multiple electronic platforms available
with eBooks, eAudioBooks, albums, television shows, movies and more to provide
you with reading and watching materials. We also have online databases to
assist with school work and newspaper access to help you stay informed. If you
need Wi-Fi connection, that is available 24/7 from our parking lot. All you
need is a device and the password (fun2read). All of our online resources can
be accessed from mydpl.org.
The administration
team is working from home to update our webpage and keep social media current
with ideas for ways to keep your entire family entertained and educated while
COVID19 forces us to practice social distancing. We are looking into additional
electronic resources and purchasing more titles for all ages to offer our
patrons the best service possible in this trying time.
If you have
questions for us or suggestions please feel free to contact us at stephrhonda@myDPL.org.
Because this past
month has been so stressing and we don’t see a light at the end of the tunnel
just yet, the April task for the Adult Reading Challenge is to read any book that makes you happy. Hoopla has added over 1000 titles that don’t
count against your check out limits and that made us happy so we want to pass
that feeling along in the Challenge. We hope you will choose to read a book
that relieves some of the stress we are all living under right now.
Stay Safe and
Happy Reading!
