We'll be having a book signing on Tuesday, July 14, 2015, from 6 p.m. - 7:45 p.m. for local author C. J. Garrett and his newly released book entitled Memoirs of a Zygote.

The Youth Library in the downstairs portion of the Pittsfield Public Library will be closed August 11th - August 13th for maintenance work. The Adult Library should remain open during this time, but it is possible the Adult Library may have to close as well on one of these days to get the work completed in a timely manner. We will do our best to update our website and Facebook page ahead of any changes in library hours during this time and apologize for the inconvenience we know this will cause our patrons. The Youth Library should reopen for its regular hours on Friday, August 14th, with a much-needed face-lift.

While the Youth Library is closed, items can be returned in the drop box or at the front desk in the Adult Library. You can also renew items at the upstairs front desk or over the telephone at 217-285-2200. If we're closed when you call, leave us a message, and we will renew your items for you.

Due to upgrades and maintenance in the building, ALL PORTIONS of the library will be closed Wednesday, August 12, 2015. The Adult Library will reopen on Thursday, August 13, 2015, for our regular hours of 1:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. The Youth Library will remain closed until Friday, August 14, 2015, for our normal hours of 10:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.

We apologize for this inconvenience. If you need to return items, you can leave them in the dropbox located in front of the library. If you need to renew items, call the library, leave us a message with your name and phone number, and we will renew them for you.

Thank you for your patience as we work to keep our library looking nice.
