Scheduled Building Closings Policy

Both scheduled closings and unexpected emergency closings are posted on every page of oppl.org in a top bar graphic.
- During scheduled closings, no virtual customer support is available.
- During unexpected closings, virtual customer support may be available via oppl.org/contact.
All closings are shared with patrons, area organizations, local media, and are posted on the library’s Facebook and Twitter pages.
Staff Learning & Engagement Day, typically the first Friday in December, is dedicated to all library staff member professional development.
Each year, the Board of Library Trustees reviews and approves these dates and policy.
