EAH FAQs
-
Expanded Access Hours (EAH)Â are additional hours of library access available to patrons outside of the normal operating hours. EAH is available at select branches daily from 7:00 am until the library opens and after the library closes until 8:00 pm. During Expanded Access Hours, the library building is open for patrons to enter and use resources, such as books, computers, printing and study spaces. During these hours, library staff are not available to provide assistance or answer questions. When you sign up, library staff will review safety and security information such as emergency exits, how to use the phones, what to do if the power goes out, and how to handle other emergencies.
Once approved, your access goes beyond your home library; it includes all Expanded Access Hours (EAH) locations. Families are welcome too! Each adult must sign up separately, but may bring minors in their care. It is recommended to check for updates on individual library pages before visiting.
Meeting Rooms availability varies by location during EAH; visit Reserve a Meeting Room for additional information.

While using EAH, patrons must not allow other individuals into the library. There is an exception for minor children or any adult that you are the caregiver of. In this case you must maintain supervision while using EAH.
Video surveillance is being conducted for the safety and security of the patrons and the property.
A phone may be used to call 911 emergency services if needed.
If there is a power outage, please leave the library.
Check your local branch for the location of emergency exits.

Technology To Help Bridge The Gap
Technology can play a role in helping children learn to read. These valuable tools support reading skill with interactive, engaging games, puzzles and activities. Audiobooks and read-aloud can enhance the reading experience and improve phonetic skills. A balanced approach combines technology with caregivers involvement and guidance.
