Due to the unprecedented circumstances of COVID-19, Cedar City will implement the following changes to City services per the Governor’s recommendation to keep gatherings to under 10 people to allow for social distancing. We would like to remind residents that most City business can be conducted over the phone, on the website or via email.  Please try these options before coming to City Hall. We encourage residents to use online services or phone calls whenever possible for the following Cedar City services:

Any questions for City Council Meeting can be sent to Administration by using this form at: Cedar City Request Form OR you can use the YouTube Live Chat feature during the meeting.

As the Covid-19 situation evolves, we will notify the public to any changes to public meetings on our website: http://www.cedarcity.org and on our Facebook page: @cedarcitycorp

CEDAR CITY LIBRARY

Cedar City Library will be closed as of Wednesday, March 18th, 2020.  At this time, we are unable to waive fines.  If you need to return books, please drop them off at our book drop on the North side of the building.  We apologize for any inconvenience this causes.  You can also renew items by calling us at 435-586-6661 or emailing us at ereference@cedarcity.org.

Exercising an abundance of caution and in conformity with the suggestions of government leaders and many in the medical community, the Cedar City Library will experience a temporary closure effective after the end of business sanitizing, painting, and general building maintenance. Certain enhancements to our catalog and the way material is located will be implemented. Capitalizing on a period of low attendance as well as a time that calls for cautious and prudent behavior ensures that this closure will impact the fewest number of patrons. Please take advantage of our eBook and eAudio resources, databases, and other online resources. We will make daily updates to social media. Thank you for your patronage.

Steve Decker, Library Director.
