IMPORTANT NOTICE: Barclay Public Library will be closed from Monday, March 16, 2020 until Wednesday, April 8, 2020 in an effort to flatten the curve and do our part in preventing the spread of the Coronavirus. All programs falling in March and April will be rescheduled. Please do not worry about returning items at this time. No late fees will be assessed during the closure. If you have materials on hold or were expecting items soon, we will try to extend the loan period and still fulfill your request.
