3/15/20  Due to the State of Emergency declared by Governor Gina Raimondo, and in an abundance of caution for the health and safety of our patrons and staff, the Pontiac Free Library will be closed for the week of March 16, 2020 until further notice. We will re-evaluate our closings weekly, so please keep checking our website and our Facebook page.

***UPDATED 3/17/20
1. Due dates on all Ocean State Libraries materials will be extended until May 1st.
2. Fines will be waived from March 1st until the end of the public health crisis.
3. Holds and notifications will be turned off; Patrons will not be able to place holds, nor will you receive any notifications for now. We do not want to create false expectations. When we reopen, we will contact patrons who have holds waiting for them and we will wait one week to allow patrons to pick up their holds.
4. Library cards that are due to expire in March and April will be extended until May 1st.
5. If you have any questions, we are available for you. Email us at: info@pontiacfreelibrary.org or visit us on Facebook and ask a question via messenger.
