HERMISTON — The Hermiston Public Library is suspending its curbside service for now.

After the library closed to the public, staff had still been offering the option to call for a book and pick it up. On Friday, the library announced in a news release it is ending that practice at 5 p.m. Saturday and the duration of the suspension will be “be determined based on direction from state and federal authorities.”

“We look forward to being able to welcome everyone back to the library without the worry of safety,” library director Mark Rose said.

Online services, such as audio books and e-books, are still available at hermistonlibrary.us. For more information, call 541-567-2882.
