All Deschutes Public Library locations will be closed Friday, December 12, through Sunday, December 14, due to network security issues. There will be no access to the library website during this time, however customers can still access and reserve materials through the library’s catalog (https://dpl.bibliocommons.com) and through the Libby app, where you can access eBooks, digital audiobooks, and magazines.
