This video was put together by CLAMS libraries as part of a recent legislative event. Though most buildings are closed to the public, library staff continue to work hard and creatively to offer services. CLAMS library services continue to be relevant and necessary in these challenging times.
We are resilient, resourceful, responsive and relevant!
There’s a lot going on at your local library. Check out the video, the virtual events calendar and your local library website for more information.

If you’re on the go and searching for the nearest CLAMS library, check out the Library Info feature, which shows locations nearest to you with links to their websites.
The Manage Accounts tool lets you add multiple library cards — a great feature for families! Don’t have a library card? Request one through the app and access econtent right away.
Available for iOS and Android, this app has a broad range of features and functions that will make your library experience even better.
