​Teaneck Library Offers Check-In Service Amid Coronavirus Closure

TEANECK, NJ — You're not the only one feeling the strain of social isolation — so is the Teaneck Public Library.

That's why they're rolling out a check-in service to, as they put it, "give you a call and check-in to see how you’re doing, and briefly discuss popular new books and movies."

In a post on its website, the Teaneck Public Library said the service, which it is calling "daily conversations with our Teaneck neighbors," is only available to township residents.

To sign up, residents must provide their information via an online form.

Once a resident's information is submitted, library staff will reach out. "We would be happy to check on you or your loved one who lives in Teaneck," the library's website states.

The library added: "Our staff hopes you are all doing well during this unique and unprecedented crisis, and But if there is anything we can do to help you, please let us know during the phone call and we will connect you to the appropriate resource. We’re here for you Teaneck!"

Residents can also contact the library through online chat, by phone at 201-817-978 and by email. Contact Patron Services at teancirc@bccls.org, Reference Department at reference@teaneck.bccls.org and Youth Services at youth@teaneck.bccls.org.

Library staff is available Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
