Curbside service begins on July 20

On July 20, the library will begin curbside service which will make it possible for you to receive items that you have placed on hold with the library.  To place a hold you will need to call or email library staff @ 845-856-7313 x 3 or ptj@rcls.org.   You may also place a hold through the library catalog using your library card - https://rcls.ent.sirsi.net/client/en_US/portjervis/

Once your request is available, library staff will contact you with the date and time your item(s) will be available for pick up.   Curbside pickup will be scheduled during the following times: Monday through Friday:  10:00am - 2:00pm

When you arrive at the library to pick up your item(s) come to the side door and ring the bell or call the library @ 845-856-7313 x 3, someone will bring your item(s) out to you.  You will need to show your driver's license or other photo ID to receive materials.

Port Jervis Free Library Board of Trustees announces the closure until further notice

The Port Jervis Free Library Board of trustees announced the closure of the library until further notice due to health concerns. We are continuing to follow COVID-19 developments closely and will determine if additional closures are needed. 
We will be providing library updates on a regular basis. Stay connected with us on our library website,  Facebook, Instagram  or by emailing use with your questions at ptj@rcls.org

During the closure Port Jervis Free Library patrons will be able to:

• Get digital materials — including eBooks, eMagazines, eAudiobooks, eVideos - and corresponding apps for their personal devices.  Look for the Libby and OverDrive apps on your device app store; all of them are free.
• Apply for a library card online. (NEW)
• Access Ancestry.com from home. (NEW)
• Access educational and informative databases. 
• Submit their questions to the ptj@rcls.org email and get answers.
• Keep their library materials at home without late fines. No need to return items during the building’s closure as our book drop is also closed. 

Part of serving our community is continuing to provide our services beyond the library walls. During this time at home, connection is needed now more than ever, and we're here to keep you connected.
