Libraries in Stafford County and Fredericksburg reverted to curbside-only service this week.

Patrons can no longer enter library buildings to check out books and other materials, reserve meeting rooms, or hold study groups. A recent spike in coronavirus cases and hospitalizations in the region prompted the change.

When the number of coronavirus cases drops, the libraries will continue to in-person service and continue to offer curbside pick-up service. Right now, partrons can use the library's phone service for thier customer service needs, reading recommendations, and research questions, including questions for Virginiana staff, by calling 540-372-1144 or 804-472-3820, or through email or chat at librarypoint.org/ask.
