Canadians and Americans can use the library again! Canadian members are allowed to cross the border by using the sidewalk and the entrance on the American side. However, visitors must be aware of two things:
  1. You are encouraged to bring your documentation with you (as if you were crossing the border).
  2. Family reunions or any cross-border visits are not allowed inside the library.
If you cannot enter the library, curbside pickups and deliveries are still available to you.

Mobile Services

Events

The Haskell Free Library is offering a delivery service, free-of-charge. Deliveries are limited to library materials only. You are entitled to check out any format of materials from the library, which consists of books, magazines, DVDs, audiobooks, and interlibrary loan materials.

To be eligible, you must be a member in good standing, and :
  • Be unable to physically visit the library due to COVID-19 or other medical reasons; and
  • Reside within 30 miles /50km of the library

​Library staff will contact you with the delivery time. You do not need to be home for the delivery, the driver will knock on the door and leave the bag of materials on the doorstep. If you have any materials to return, please place them in a plastic bag and have them ready for the driver.

You are responsible for providing a safe and appropriate environment for volunteers or staff members who make deliveries to your home. Please remain 2m away from the driver, confine your pets, and make sure nothing is blocking the entrance, such as ice or snow. The driver has the right to refuse delivery if the environment is deemed to be unsafe. Should a delivery concern arise, library staff will contact you to discuss the situation.
