All CCPL locations will be closed for the Veterans Day Holiday on Monday, November 11. We will reopen for regular hours on Tuesday, November 12.
CCPL is a fine free library as of September 1, 2020. CCPL will be waiving all existing overdue fines from customer accounts. This policy ensures that all of our community members have equitable access to CCPL's resources and services, while eliminating the financial barrier of overdue fines. Customers who previously had outstanding account balances will be able to resume borrowing physical and digital materials and access online library resources. Please see full details on our Fine Free FAQ page.
