With the gradual opening of businesses and government services across the state the libraries across the state are working toward that goal. Our opening date depends on being able to secure hand sanitizer which we will require everyone to use as they enter the building and again when they leave. Another requirement is that everyone entering the library wear a mask. Staff are busy making masks, but if you have one please feel free to use it. The library will be limiting the number of computers available at one time and patrons will need to sign up for one hour slots preferably 24 hours before use. Those wishing to check out materials are limited to one person at a time for a 10 minute slot of time. Thank you in advance for your understanding of these new regulations. If you do not feel comfortable coming to the library know that you can do curbside service of materials or we can deliver materials to your home. Call us at 487-7524 during library hours with any questions or concerns.
