LTPL Patrons - Novi Library

FAQ for Lyon Township Public Library Patrons

How long will Lyon Township Public Library (LTPL) be closed?

Approximately 4 weeks – from Monday, May 4 to Monday, June 1.

Where can I…?

You can check out books, pick-up holds, use public computers, fax/scan/copy, and get technology help at these neighboring libraries:

Commerce Township Community Library
Milford Public Library
Northville District Library
Novi Public Library
Salem-South Lyon District Library (up to 5 items)
Walled Lake City Library
Wixom Public Library

Our neighboring libraries are aware of LTPL’s closure and they are prepared to welcome you and assist you.

How to place a hold for pick-up at a neighboring library?

To place a hold on a book, choose “place hold”, then use the drop-down menu next to “pick-up” location to choose another library that is close to you.

If you currently have items on hold that you are waiting for, go into your account and choose a different pick-up location.

What to do with checked-out items?

Both the library and the outside drop box will be closed, so if the due date of your checked-out items is during the closure (May 4 – June 1) then you may hold onto the items until we re-open at the new building. You will not be penalized.

If you prefer to not hold onto the library’s items, then you may return them to a
neighboring library. If you are in possession of items that belong to other libraries, then you are responsible for returning them by their due date.

Can I call the library during the closure?

We will not be answering the phone as usual during the closure. You are welcome to leave us a message and we will get back to you when possible.

Are library events still happening?

There will be no in-person or virtual library events during the closure.

Can I still access digital resources (i.e. Libby, hoopla, Kanopy, etc.)?

You will have free, 24/7 access to the digital library and resources such as Libby, hoopla, Kanopy, Mango Languages, Tumblebooks, Scholastic Teachables, Universal Class, and more. To see all of the digital resources we offer, visit our website here: https://lyon.lib.mi.us/explore/digital-resources/
