In keeping with CDC recommendations, masks are optional at ACPL locations. We are a mask-friendly place and recognize that some individuals will choose to wear them for various reasons.

NOTE: If Athens County hospitalization levels change to where masks are recommended in indoor public places, we will post signs advising all individuals to wear masks inside in accordance with CDC guidelines.

If you’re feeling unwell (with any illness), we encourage you to wait to visit a library location or look into using our no-contact curbside services.

We continue to offer a mixture of in-person, hybrid, and grab-and-go programs.

The Friends of the Athens Public Library Book Sale is now ongoing and located in the YA section of the Athens library, using an honor system. *Books in good condition are being accepted for donation.
