Due to a small electrical fire on Saturday, May 4, the Orion Township Public Library Main Branch building is closed for the next several weeks. Thank you to the heroic staff (and a very courageous patron!) who responded to the incident quickly and decisively. We are lucky that no one was harmed and that the building experienced minimal damage. During the next few weeks, we will be closed to ensure our facilities and materials are clean and cleared of smoke from the incident. While the library building itself will be closed, we will continue to offer the services we are able.
The Orion Center Branch will remain open during usual business hours: Monday-Friday: 10:00AM-3:00PM.
Curbside Pick-Up of Holdable Materials
The Orion Township Public Library Main Branch will offer curbside pick-up services during the following hours:
Monday-Thursday: 9:30AM-8:30PM
Friday-Saturday: 9:30AM-4:30PM
Patrons may place holds on library materials online via the library catalog, or by calling the library at (248)-693-3000. All library materials currently on the hold shelf will continue to be available for pick-up until Friday, May 17.
PLEASE NOTE: Your materials will not immediately be available for pick-up once you have placed a hold. You will receive an email confirmation to let you know when your materials are ready for pick-up.
Once you have received your confirmation email that your materials on hold are ready for pick-up, you may park at one of three curbside pick-up parking spots on the side of the building, then call the phone number on the parking spot sign. A staff member will then deliver your holdable materials to your car.
The OTPL Main Branch will not be able to provide printing or copying services at this time, but the Orion Center Branch has a printer to take care of your printing needs. COVID tests are available for pick-up as a curbside service at the OTPL Main Branch and are available at the Orion Center Branch. Notary services will not be available at the OTPL Main Branch but are available at the Orion Center Branch during operating hours.
