Welcome to the Imperial County Free Library

The Library is Now Open for In-Person Services

The library has reopened to the public for in-person services as of June 1, 2021. Please note business hours have changed to reflect increased sanitation efforts. Some services may not be available at all locations or there may be modifications. Any person entering the library is subject to screening before entry.


Covid-19 Precautions

The health and safety of the public and library staff is of utmost importance and we're glad to offer library services again. We're implementing a few new precautions which may impact processing, borrowing, and response times. Check out our Guidelines for more information.

Library Grab and Go

Enjoy the convenience of borrowing library materials without having to enter the library. Use the library catalog to search and reserve titles for pickup at your nearest library branch. Or call the library and staff can help you select and reserve titles over the phone. You'll receive a call or email once your materials are ready for pickup. Proceed to the library's doorside pickup area to retrieve your materials during designated hours.

Grab and Go by Request Only
