Thomas Crane Library Closed to Public

The Thomas Crane Public Library has made the difficult decision to temporarily close all library locations as of March 15 for at least two weeks, or until further notice.

TCPL is a place where the community gathers and your health and well-being is our top priority. We are closing for the safety of our visitors and staff due to heightened concerns about the spread of COVID-19. We are deeply committed to serving the public, and the best way to do that at this time is to help minimize the spread of COVID-19. This is a rapidly changing situation; please continue to check back here for updates and more information.

During this temporary closure:

• All late fees will be suspended. Holds will also be suspended. Please note, this change may not be reflected immediately in library accounts.
• Please keep any materials you have currently checked out and wait until we reopen to return them. Our book drops at all locations will remain open but if a book drop is full, do not leave library items outside the book drop.
• Free wifi will be available outside all library locations, in the parking lots or as far as the signal extends.
• Explore our many free online resources, including ebooks, emagazines, streaming video and music for all ages.

For COVID-19 updates, please continue to check the City of Quincy website, the CDC website, and the state’s website.

Residents with questions can call the Mayor’s Office of Constituent Services at 617-376-1500 or the Quincy Health Department at 617-376-1272.

We look forward to returning to our regular Library hours as soon as possible.
