The Ulysses Philomathic Library will be closing to the public for a few weeks effective Monday, March 16. We will be open Saturday, March 14.
In the coming week library staff will be developing plans of what limited services we can still provide while keeping public health at the center of our priorities. Due dates for all items currently checked out have been extended into May.
Thank you for your understanding.

ULYSSES PHILOMATHIC LIBRARY & CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19 Update 3/13/20
The library is working hard to balance the safety of our staff, volunteers and patrons with the important services we provide our community. We are now cleaning high touch areas on a schedule throughout the day, games and toys have been removed, we are encouraging handwashing and the use of the automatic door openers.
Please be mindful of the health of others and potential staffing shortages if you come to the library. Our dedicated employees all receive paid sick time and are being told to use it as needed, and our wonderful volunteers are encouraged to do what feels best for their own safety and health.
As of March 13, 2020 most programming and room reservations are still available, there will be no Lego programs on Saturday until further notice. We are developing plans of how we can potentially continue to serve our patrons if we are told to close the building. Please watch the library’s website and Facebook page for updates.
Thank you.
Ksana Broadwell,
Library Director
