The Washington County Free Library provides a wheelchair accessible Telehealth Pod for health-related appointments at the Fletcher Branch in Hagerstown. Use of the Pod may not interfere with the normal operation of the Library. This Pod is intended to provide library patrons with a quiet, private space to conduct telehealth appointments with a medical provider.
**A library computer is not currently available for telehealth appointments.** Please bring your own laptop, tablet, phone, or other mobile device for use during your appointment.
