Last week it was announced that All Tioga County libraries would open on June 15 for curbside or lobby pickup of library materials. Since the announcement was made, we received word from several of the libraries on what the opening will look like.

Patrons may use the online library catalog at www.candorfreelibrary.org; call the library at 659-7258, or e-mail director@candorfreelibrary.org. Patrons will be contacted when their hold is ready to be picked up in the library lobby or you can request that they bring it out to your car.
To ensure the safety of staff and patrons in regard to COVID19, the library itself will be closed to patrons until further notice. Please email or call the above number with any questions.
