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 http://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 http://www.gcld.org for more information. The calendar also includes info about programs from other Grand County organizations.
