Online programming, such as book clubs, storytimes, and the upcoming NaNoWriMo webinar will continue on the library’s website and Facebook page.
Other online services, such as eBooks, audiobooks, movies, magazines, academic enrichment activities and more will still be available 24/7 at www.saginawlibrary.org.
We will continue to update our website and Facebook page as more information becomes available.
We look forward to getting back to offering our full range of services. We will get through this together.
