The Marion County Library is currently closed to walk-in visitors through August 2 but is offering curbside service to its patrons until it reopens.
County Judge John Massey announced Monday that the library would be pivoting to curbside service until Monday, August 2. The change from walk-in to curbside service is in response to rising COVID-19 numbers across the Twin Lakes Area.
Marion County Library Director Dana Scott says the library is open 9-5:30 Monday-Friday and from 10-2 on Saturdays.
