The Dundee Library and Randall Oaks Library will welcome patrons back into their buildings starting Monday, February 8. The last day for curbside pickup will be Sunday, February 7.

Social distancing procedures will be practiced, and masks will be required to enter the library. Capacity limits will be followed, and patrons will be asked to wait for entry if necessary.
Take a well deserved break from your daily grind and try something new like pour painting or crochet. We make it easy for you -- we provide all the materials, instruction, and virtual interaction.
