The library is now open for in-person visits and curbside service!


Current hours are Monday through Friday, 12:00-4:00. These will be changing often, so check back with us!

We have 15 and 30 minute appointments available. Only one person or family is allowed in the library at one time.

Masks are required in City Hall.


To use curbside service, call the library at 906-667-0404 to tell us what you would like, or an idea of what you may like so we can choose things for you.

When you arrive at the library, stay in your car and call us so we can bring your items out to you.

Items may also be placed on hold through our catalog at uprl.ent.sirsi.net


If you have items that need to be faxed, scanned, or copied, please call the library when you arrive and we will help you.

If you have items to be printed, you can make an appointment to come in to the library to print.

All regular charges will apply.
