Keeping You Safe. Keeping You Informed

Notices

All Woodland Library Services Temporarily Suspended as of Tue, Oct 13

In the interest of health and safety, all services at Woodland Library will be temporarily suspended starting October 13, until a time when it is safe to reopen to the public.

Woodland Library is a small facility that poses safety concerns in an age of COVID. With the number of returned materials that need to be quarantined for up to 4–5 days, there is insufficient room for this while safely conducting curbside services. Staff from Woodland Library will be reassigned during this period to the Los Altos Library or another SCCLD location. Please carefully check your holds notification to see if your holds are available at the Woodland or Los Altos Library for pick up. Learn More.

Thank you for your understanding and we apologize for the inconvenience.
