Unexpected Closures and Delays
Mid-Columbia Libraries may close, delay, or close early in the event of snow, ice, or other emergencies.
Our policy states that if a local school district closes due to inclement weather, the library branch(es) in that district will automatically have a delayed opening time of 12 pm (or when the library is regularly scheduled to open, whichever is later). Library officials will decide whether or not to close for the rest of the day.
For library closures and delays, visit the MCL homepage, or find the latest updates on our Facebook page.
