Peters Township Public Library Expanding Services

May 2, 2021

The Peters Township Public Library is expanding our services for the community beginning Monday, April 26, 2021. Masks will still be required for everyone over age 2 in the building. All areas in the library are open for browsing for books. You may check out materials inside the library at the main desk on the 1st floor. There are no fines for overdue materials.

Four computers on the 2nd floor will be available for public use for one one-hour session per day. Computer appointments are encouraged. Patrons with a WAGGIN card may call the library’s Reference Department at 724.941.9430 #2 to schedule appointments up to 24 hours in advance, one time per day.  Printing will be available from the computers with the first 10 prints free of charge. More than 10 prints will be charged ten cents/page for bland and white, fifty cents/page for color. Please bring your own headphones for computer usage, if needed.

Three study rooms on the 2nd floor will be available for individual use for a two-hour session. First come, first served – no reservations taken. If no one is waiting to use the room, you will be permitted to extend your time.

Limited seating will be available in the library for individual reading or study. Single chairs are ready at our tables, and seating in other areas will meet social distancing requirements. No tutoring is permitted in the library.

The majority of our programming will continue to be offered virtually, but we will be offered a limited number of programs outdoors at the library or nearby Peterswood Park, weather permitting. Visit our Event Calendar to learn more.

Areas of the library that remain unavailable include the Family Activity Center, Cafe Lee, and Conference/Meeting/Reading Rooms. The daily book sale is suspended, and we are unable to accept book donations.  Library volunteers have not been contacted to help. Food and drinks are not permitted in the library, but you are welcome to enjoy those items at our outdoor patio area.

Please email us at ptlib@ptlibrary.org if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you soon!
