The Priest Lake Library is currently in the Green tier. The Green tier represents the “new normal” level of service.
The doors are open to the public.
Some services have been modified from previous standards with a nod to public health recommendations, to respect hygiene and social distancing. For check-in, all incoming materials are added to a repository bin and placed in quarantine. Material won’t be checked in until the quarantine period of three days is over. Patrons with overdue items may still check out, and patrons who turn in long-overdue lost items may have those items renewed by staff & have the lost status removed. Computers have been limited to encourage social distancing. Library sponsored programs and meetings are added on a month to month basis depending on current pandemic status.
The tiers in our Reopening Plan are a living document and can change at any given time.

The library has started two new book clubs, “Junior Readers”, for kids ages 8-13, and “Young Readers”, for teens ages 13-17. These groups are a great place for kids and teens to meet new book-loving friends, and are always full of interesting discussion. Check out the “Calendar of Events” up above for monthly updates!

The Priest Lake Public Library is open! On Monday May 18th, 2020, we entered Stage 3. This means some services have been modified to respect hygiene and social distancing. (See our Priest Lake Library Reopening Plan for full details.)  For check-in, all incoming materials are added to a repository bin and placed in quarantine. Material won’t be checked in until the quarantine period of three days is over. Patrons with overdue items may still check out, and patrons who turn in long-overdue lost items may have those items renewed by staff & have the lost status removed. Computers have been limited to encourage social distancing. Library sponsored programs and meetings are back open.

We can’t wait to see everyone again! Stay safe!
