COVID-19

Dear Chambers County Library System Community,

Under the guidance of the County Judge and Health Department, the Chambers County Library System will provide curbside-only services beginning Monday, June 29. This decision was made based on what we feel is best for the public and staff.

If you do not have a library card, you can apply for an eCard here.

During this time, library items can only be returned to the outdoor book drop at your local branch. Items will be quarantined for 14 days before they are checked in. No fines will be assessed.

We plan on being very active on social media, so check our Facebook often! If you have any questions, please call or email us at: ccls@chamberstx.gov

We will continue to communicate our response as things evolve. We look forward to seeing you back in our buildings as things slowly get back to normal. Until then, visit us at www.chambers.lib.tx.us to take advantage of our great digital resources. 

 

Valerie Jensen
County Librarian
