In accordance with the Aurora Town Public Library's Covid-19 Mirco-Cluster, plan we are monitoring the weekly new COVID-19 cases for our zip code per 100,000 population on 7-day average from the Erie County Department of Health. This data is shared with us on Monday afternoons and will determine our level of service from Tuesday to the following Monday.

Whether the building is open or closed to the public, we will offer Walk-Up Service. Please call us at (716) 652-4440 to schedule a pickup or order online at https://tinyurl.com/y74r29ql.

Returned library materials will be quarantined for 4 days (96 hours) to ensure the safety of our patrons and staff.  Your account will reflect that materials remain checked out for an additional number of days during the quarantine timeframe.  Items returned on time will not accrue fines or fees.
