The library is using a new reservation system for museum passes. You can still request passes at the reference desk. If you reserve a pass from home, a PIN is now required. If you already have one, please use that number. If you don’t have one or don’t remember it, please email wppubliclibrary@gmail.com. Include your name and library card # in the message. Staff will reply as quickly as possible.
Parents—When visiting the Children’s Room please do not move or rearrange the furniture.
