The end of December can feel like no other time of the year: school is out, businesses adjust their hours, and holiday music follows you everywhere you go. Whether you consider this time of year to be the most wonderful time of the year or the most stressful, it can be hard to keep up with your regular routines with the added chores and company that come with holiday celebrations. The library will be closed for four days over the next two weeks, and we want to ensure you still have access to all the great materials that will help you have the best holiday possible.
Don’t stress the due date.
Due dates are extended during library closures, so any due dates that would fall on December 24 or December 25 will be updated to December 26, and any due dates that would fall on December 31 or January 1, 2026, will be updated to January 2, 2026. If you are still concerned about making it to the library on those dates, don’t worry. We offer pickup service for Canton residents—and no overdue fines.
Streamline your pickup.
We love it when you stop by to say hello, but if you’re in a time crunch, we want to make it easy for you to pick up your items. We are happy to place available items on the hold shelf for you, so you can easily retrieve them during your visit. Alternatively, we can also bring them out to your car with our curbside pickup service. We even offer home delivery if you can’t leave the house.
Enjoy the library at all hours.
We have a large collection of e-media, which is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. So, when you remember that you need a recipe for cranberry cake at 6 AM on Christmas Eve, or are looking for a holiday movie the kids haven’t seen? We’ve got you covered with Libby, hoopla, Kanopy and more with your Canton Public Library card! (Card expired? Don’t worry: you can renew online!)
