Guidelines for library use 

 

Masks covering nose and mouth are required. Please wear your own. However, I do have masks inside if you need one.                                                                     

My mask protects you, your mask protects me. Thank you for helping keep everyone healthy!

 

  Use hand sanitizer upon entering.

 

 

Please remember to stay six feet away from others.

 

  If you are sneezing, coughing, sniffling, or if you feel ill, please do not enter the library. We look forward to being here when you are feeling better.

 

 

Reardan Memorial Library

is now live online with

Wheatland Libraries!

 

When you access the catalog, you will find the holdings in all Lincoln County Libraries and the East Adams (Ritzville) Library! We have joined forces to provide more items for our patrons. At this time, if you put a hold on an item from another library, you must pick up and return the item at that library. 

If you want to see only what Reardan Library has, please choose Reardan from the drop down menu.

Your Anytime Library account and your Lynda learning account access information should not change.
