The Denair Library is experiencing an internet outage. We appreciate your patience as we work to resolve this as quickly as possible.

All Stanislaus County Libraries will be closed on Monday, May 25 to observe Memorial Day.

Good news! Library users should now be able to access their online accounts, digital library options, and online resources. Thank you for your patience while we worked on a resolution.

The Newman Library will be providing curbside assistance today, Saturday, May 16, due to unforeseen circumstances. Please call (209) 862-2010 when you arrive at the Newman Library to pick up your holds or print jobs.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.

We are currently experiencing an issue that is preventing library users from accessing their online accounts. This unexpected technical disruption also appears to be impacting our digital library services (such as Libby) and other online resources. We are working to resolve the issue and are eager to restore full access as soon as possible.

If you need assistance during this time, please contact your local library. Hours and locations are available here: https://www.stanislauslibrary.org/about_hours.shtm.
Thank you for your patience and understanding while we work toward a solution.
