GCLD updates: Libraries resume children’s storytime online, among other news

Based on the statewide stay home order issued by Gov. Jared Polis
and other considerations, all library branches will remain closed to the public
and all in-person programs are canceled until further notice.

Many library resources are available at www.gcld.org, including eBooks, audio books,
video streaming, research, classes and activities.

Go to the “eBooks & Learning Tools” tab on the website
to access or find more. If someone needs a new library card or theirs has
expired, they should email cardsignup@gcld.org
to register for a temporary card.

The libraries are currently offering digital storytime online via Zoom. Check the programs calendar at www.gcld.org for more information. The calendar also includes info about programs from other Grand County organizations.
