Other things to know…

  • Following CDC guidelines, all Library staff members will be wearing face coverings and customers are encouraged to do the same. (There will be adult and youth size face coverings available for you to use if you do not have your own.)

  • Please note: If you require one-on-one assistance, you must wear a face covering to interact with staff.

  • 72 hour quarantine of returned materials is still in effect. As you are browsing shelves instead of putting “unwanted items” back on the shelf, please place them on book carts located throughout the library so these materials may also be quarantined.

  • To allow for physical distancing, Library branches will observe capacity limits. If a building reaches the maximum number of customers that it can safely accommodate, you will be asked to wait outside until space becomes available.

A few things that are still not available…

  • Meeting rooms and study rooms are still closed to the public

  • Following CDC guidelines, early literacy spaces are closed and all activities/toys are currently unavailable for use.

  • Donations are not being accepted at this time

  • No passports will be processed

  • In-person classes & events remain temporarily unavailable, instead enjoy virtual programs for all ages

  • Some seating areas may be closed to help maintain physical distancing
