Effective at 5pm on Monday, March 16, all Chillicothe and Ross County locations will be closed until at least April 6th. Periodic updates will be posted on our website and social media platforms as information becomes available.
The Main Library Annex and Northside buildings will still be open for voting on Tuesday, March 17.
Library officials encourage individuals to take advantage of the many online resources found on our website:www.crcpl.org. Additionally, most of their county locations have Free Little Libraries near the front doors of the buildings. During this closure, staff will periodically restock those boxes. In Chillicothe, the Free Little Library at the YMCA will be maintained.
Beginning Tuesday, March 17, the library and Children’s Hunger Alliance will continue to provide a healthy “grab and go” meal to children up to age 18 during our closure. Meals will be distributed at the front door of the Main Library Annex, 146 S. Paint St. from 4:00-5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Free Wi-Fi will continue to be available outside all our library locations 24/7.
Key staff will be working remotely and may be available to answer email questions. However, please be patient while waiting for a response.
