The Clarksville Branch Library will be closed until further notice due to insufficient staffing levels.
The Main Library location will remain open its normal holiday hours this week and regular schedule afterwards. We will update this website regarding any changes in this status.
Due to continuing health and safety concerns due to novel coronavirus COVID-19, both locations of the library will continue to remain closed through Monday, May 25th. We hope to begin providing limited services such as curbside hold pickups soon. However, these plans are contingent on any restrictions from the state or local government being lifted.
Our WiFi is still available from outside the building 24/7 and you are welcome to bring your own devices to use it. We just ask that you remember to maintain social distancing by keeping at least 6 feet apart from others.

The following areas are unavailable either temporarily or permanently:
Please note that the meeting rooms at the Clarksville Branch are available for public use during this time, and many Main Library programs have been relocated there. You can use these links to reserve a meeting room or view our online calendar.
The Jeffersonville Library is under the following temporary hours to accommodate its construction schedule:
| Mondays — Tuesdays | CLOSED |
|---|---|
| Wednesdays | 9:00 a.m. — 8:00 p.m. |
| Thursdays | 9:00 a.m. — 8:00 p.m. |
| Fridays | 9:00 a.m. — 5:30 p.m. |
| Saturdays | 9:00 a.m. — 5:00 p.m. |
| Sundays | CLOSED |
Please note that this schedule ONLY applies to the Jeffersonville location and is only for the duration of the renovation project. The Clarksville Branch location will still be open its full normal schedule.
We apologize for the temporary inconvenience, but we are very excited to lead the library into the future with our envisioned improvements. These include a new Makerspace and recording studio, a new meeting room, two study rooms, a new service desk with roaming staff, self-check technology with RFID tags, and a new family restroom on the first floor. Of course, there are countless smaller improvements we plan to make along the way. You can read about all of the planned improvements on our Renovations page.
