Library's Re-opening Guidelines

The Library has been carefully preparing the library to be a safe space for staff and patrons.  This has been a difficult process because our library is designed for socializing! We are excited to announce that the library re-opened on July 6.

The following measures are being implemented to make the library the safest possible space during this pandemic:

  • Staff will be wearing masks or visors, as mandated by the governor
  • Masks or visors are required to be worn by patrons while they are in the library.  This decision was made with a lot of deliberation with care and concern, and it was decided that due to the uniqueness of the library environment, requiring masks was essential for safety of patrons and staff. 
  • Children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by a parent.
  • Additional sanitizing and cleaning will be performed throughout the day.
  • Returned books are held for 72 hours before checking in and shelving.
  • A limited number of individuals will be allowed in the buildings at one time. 
  • Physical barriers have been set up between staff and patrons.
  • Furniture in other areas of the library have been re-arranged or removed to comply with the social distancing mandate.
  • Toys and select furniture has been removed in the children’s area and the children’s computer are has been closed to comply with social distancing mandate.
