Stone Memorial Library
CONNEAUTVILLE - Stone Memorial Library is open once again for limited indoor service! Masks will be required for entry into the library. If you do not have a mask with you, we have some available at the door. Appointments for computer use is recommended. Computer use will be limited to a maximum of 45 minutes, and we ask that our patrons try to limit their materials browsing time as well. We also graciously ask that our patrons continue to respect social distancing while in the library. If you have any further questions about our service changes, please feel free to give us a call at 814-587-2142. In spite of the limitations, we look forward to seeing you all again soon!
We ask that our patrons continue to use our overnight book drop on the side of the library building to return materials. This makes it easier for our librarian to move the materials into quarantine. All library materials continue to be quarantined for AT LEAST 72 hours after they are pulled from the book drop. Due to this, some items may not be checked in and returned to the shelves for a few days after they are returned to the book drop. You will not be charged any fines due to our need to quarantine.
While we are still not able to facilitate any in-person programming due to social distancing requirements, our Virtual Storytime with Ms. Julie continues! Log on to Facebook on Tuesdays at 10 am to watch as Ms. Julie reads stories, sings songs, and makes crafts geared towards preschoolers and their families. Hop on over to our Facebook page - http://facebook.com/StoneMemorialLibraryConneautville - or our website - http://stone.ccfls.org - for more information.
Along with the crafting portion of our Virtual Storytime, we will have Take It and Make It kits available for our patrons to take home at no charge. Each week we will have all needed materials in a bag along with their instructions. They really are quite the hit, so be sure to stop in and get them as soon as you can after storytime!
For those who are now faced with working from home, or have decided to take the home or cyber school route, we have many resources available to support you. Number one is our mobile WiFi hotspots! A hotspot is a device that allows you to create a WiFi signal out of a mobile connection. We have five available to check out at no charge for our patrons who are 18 years of age or older with library cards that are in good standing.
Your library card also gives you access to a number of online resources available through the Crawford County Federated Library System (CCFLS) and the POWER Library. Since September, our patrons are able to access hundreds of magazines digitally at http://ccfls.rbdigital.com - all you need to do is login with your library card number!
As always, if you have any questions about these or other online resources, please let us know. We also would love to hear from you about what materials would be most helpful to you during this time. We would like to thank our community and our patrons for their unwavering patience and support during this unprecedented time. We look forward to seeing you soon.
The Stone Memorial Library is located at 1101 Main St., Conneautville PA 16406. We are open Monday & Friday, 1 – 6pm, Tuesday & Thursday, 9am – 6pm, and Saturdays 9am – 4pm. Feel free to also contact us via phone / fax at 814-587-2142.

SPRINGBORO - We are back to normal operating hours and back to full service with “Covid restrictions”. Patrons can finally come in and browse for their selections. We are fully stocked up on disinfectants. Masks are still required to enter the building. And we do have a six foot distancing policy. Also, returns should still be made at the book drop on the side of the building to prevent hand to hand contact as much as possible. Items will continue to be quarantined upon return before they go back to the shelves.
All online services will continue. Inter-library loans for books from other libraries are suspended. In addition, please return all books from other libraries to their home library.

Pre-school story time will continue to appear on our Facebook page. Our “Ms Ginger” has had a great response to the virtual storytime posted every week. The videos are designed to help kids with all the activities they participate in at school. They have been getting hundreds of views. Kids and parents can safely participate and/ or sing along without leaving home.
Remember, it is free to get a library card for kids and adults. There are many benefits. Take advantage of all your library has to offer. We aim to provide the most current educational materials as well as entertainment media and programs for our community.
