Therefore, the Schultz-Holmes Memorial Library is closed until Monday, April 13 at 10:30 am. We will re-evaluate as we move though the closure, but that is the current date to re-open. The building, including restrooms, will be closed to the public. Staff will be on-site at least part of each day the library is normally open. We will check the library voicemail, email, and social media sites for messages. Patrons who have been notified they have materials on hold to pick up, should call the library to arrange to pick up the items. While the book drop remains open for patrons to return borrowed items, all fines on items due between March 1 and April 30 are waived as long as the material is returned by June 1. Inter-library loan is suspended until further notice. Auditorium rental is suspended until further notice. We will contact those with rentals already scheduled after April 13, if the plan changes and the library does not re-open by that date. Programs are cancelled until the library re-opens. The library’s online services and collections are unaffected and remain operational to serve our patrons. This status is the current one and may change. You may call the library at 517-486-2858 and leave a message or email the library at info@blissfieldlibrary.org. Thank you for your patience and understanding during this time.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><img width=278 height=66 style='width:2.9in;height:.6916in' id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image003.jpg@01D5F964.5E916390" alt="signatures 001"><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Century Schoolbook",serif'>Bob Barringer, PhD<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Century Schoolbook",serif'>Director<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><u><span style='font-family:"Copperplate Gothic Light",sans-serif'>The Schultz-Holmes Memorial Library</span></u><u><span style='font-family:"Century Schoolbook",serif'><o:p></o:p></span></u></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Century Schoolbook",serif'>407 South Lane Street<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Century Schoolbook",serif'>Blissfield, MI 49228<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Century Schoolbook",serif'>517-486-2858<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Century Schoolbook",serif'>517-486-3565 (fax)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Century Schoolbook",serif'><a href="http://www.blissfieldlibrary.org">www.blissfieldlibrary.org</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Century Schoolbook",serif'>Find us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
