New Hyattsville Library to Open Late Summer
We learned two important things when doing a curbside pickup at the Hyattsville Branch Library earlier this week: (1) The current (temporary) location will be closing next Saturday (5/29); and the new location is slated to open up towards the end of summer (so late August/early September). Exciting!
PGCMLS’ Curbside Pickup is Back!
Yahoo! PGCMLS has resumed its curbside pickup service! Having access to new (and new-to-us) books has been a Godsend during these COVID-times. While the library’s digital books have remained accessible, there really is nothing like curling up with and turning the pages of an actual book.

Yahoo! PGCMLS will be reopening soon! Specifically, the library will be reopen in four phases, with the first phase being curbside service beginning July 21st. Read on for more information on this great news!

At times like this, books are a special refuge for us. They take us to places beyond our backyard, all without lifting a foot. Which is why I was delighted to learn that despite our libraries being physically closed, you can still access the PGCMLS library virtually. This includes e-books, audiobooks, digital comics, music, movies, TV and educational resources. The Library’s Digital Suite and 85+ online resources are available 24/7.
