Newton Public Library is pleased to announce that NPL will enter Phase 1 of its reopening plan on Monday, May 18. Books, DVDs and other physical library items will start circulating again, with a no-contact pickup procedure in place. Patrons are understandably ready to bring back the more than 6,500 books and DVDs they have been storing at home since NPL’s closure on March 24. In order to avoid an unmanageable flood of returns, special hours and procedures will be in place from May 18 to 23, and due dates for items borrowed after Feb. 29 have been extended through July 4.
