COMFORT PUBLIC LIBRARY IS STILL OPEN!

We’re thrilled to announce that the Comfort Public Library is still in business and in order to keep you safe, we still have some measures in place for your protection.

• All returned books are being kept in “quarantine” for four days per CDC guidelines. So even if you’ve reserved a book, it might be up to a week before it can be checked out.
• Hand sanitizer must be used upon entry; there is a station set up at the door.
• Masks are encouraged.
• Eight computers are now available for use, six in the Tech room and two upstairs.
• All children must be supervised by a parent or guardian at all times within the library.

New hours:
o Tuesday 11:00 - 6:00 pm
o Wednesday 11:00 - 7:00 pm
o Thursday 11:00 - 6:00 pm
o Friday 11:00 - 6:00 pm (Wee Friday at 10:30 am)
o Saturday: 9:00 am-1:00 pm
o Closed Sunday & Monday

Don't Forget Our Free Online Options!

Since we are still social distancing and you may not be comfortable visiting the Library, we still offer numerous options for our patrons. Libraries and companies that support them have developed multiple resources that will allow patrons access to e-books, audio books, videos and educational/learning materials. To access these resources, a valid library card and password (your 10-digit phone number without hyphens) is needed:
• TexShare Databases
• Learning Express (resources for elementary, middle & high school students)
• SimplyE (ebooks)
• Project Gutenberg (ebooks)
• OverDrive (ebooks, audiobooks and magazines; for best results use the “Libby” app)
• LibriVox (audiobooks)
• And many, many more!

Visit the options under the Catalog tab.

ALSO:

• Wee Fun Friday is weekly (except Thanksgiving week or federal holidays) at 10:30 am Fridays. The story can be found on the Library’s private FaceBook group: Comfort Public Library Story Time (Simply request admission for access).
• Science Saturday is the first Saturday of the month meeting on the Library Patio (weather permitting), or else inside the Learning Center. Additional information and resources can be found on the Library's private FaceBook group Science Saturday at Comfort Public Library (Simply request admission for access)
