The Buffalo and Erie County Library System has recently reduced the mandatory quarantine period for returned items to two business days (48 hrs.), resulting in shorter wait times for items & increased access to materials! Please continue to return your items in either the outdoor drop box in the parking lot (which is open 24/7) or in our in door book return in the hallway. These boxes are emptied throughout the day and clearly labeled so that they will be discharged on the date returned after the quarantine period has ended. Thank you for helping us ensure that all library materials are handled with the utmost of care and safety for both patrons and staff.

Good morning friends! Due to one of those things that happens sometimes, Joe will not be able to bring you new stories today, so we thought it would be fun to replay a story time from back when we first started reading stories on Facebook over a year ago with Nicole!
