The Damascus Library will be closed from Monday, December 3 through Tuesday, December 11 for installation of new carpeting throughout the facility.

Montgomery County Public Libraries (MCPL) has announced that the normal three-week due dates for materials checked out the weeks of November 12 and 19 have been extended, so no materials will be due during the closing.

The book drop will remain open for book returns while the building is closed. However, Damascus customers are encouraged to use other MCPL branches for checking out books and other materials, returning materials, and using the catalog and internet computers. Electronic access to the MCPL website will not be affected by the temporary closure.

Customers are asked to check the MCPL website -- www.montgomerycountymd.gov/library -- on December 11 for the opening time on the 12th.
