Our Path to Reopening

Glenvar, Hollins, South County, and Vinton Libraries have reopened by reservation for County residents, Monday through Saturday from 10:00am-5:00pm, with visitors not to exceed 25% normal occupancy. Patrons may make reservations for one hour time slots via the library’s website or by calling their library location. The library will close for cleaning from 1:00pm-2:00pm each day.

Curbside services are available at all six RCPL locations.

3D Printing Services are Back

3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, turns digital 3D models into solid objects by building them up in layers. The 3D printing process turns a whole object into thousands of tiny little slices, and then makes it from the bottom-up, slice by slice. Those tiny layers stick together to form a solid object.

Visit our website here to fill out our 3D Printing form, find out information on pricing, and more.
