The library is now open for browsing and computer use in limited numbers. We are now allowing up to eight people in at a time. Two people may use the computers at a time, though currently only one is attached to a printer.
When you arrive at the library, you may be asked to wait at the door. If there are already eight people in the library, you will be asked to wait until someone leaves. Once inside, you may browse for up to 30 minutes.
If you do not wish to come into the library, let us know and we will prepare your materials ahead of time and bring them out to you.
Browsing hours will be Tuesdays and Fridays 1 to 6, and Saturdays 10 to 2.
Masks are still required until May 29th. After May 29th, patrons who have not been vaccinated will still be required to wear masks. We ask that others be aware that unvaccinated children may be in the building, and masks are suggested in consideration.
Please bear with as as we work to implement and fine-tune our process and keep up with state requirements.
Here are some changes you will see:
–You will enter through the foyer as always, but you may be asked to exit through the door at the back of the building.
–Seating has been removed except for the chairs at the two public computers.
–The new books have been relocated to allow for social distancing. The fiction is on shelves on the end caps in the front room. The nonfiction is on the tops of the shelves in the nonfiction section. (Poetry has been reintegrated into the nonfiction, and graphic novels are now at the end of the nonfiction collection.)
–There is plexiglass around the circulation desk. Contactless checkout is possible through the plexiglass if you prefer that staff not handle your materials.
–The restroom in the foyer will be available for public use. The restroom inside the library will be reserved for staff.
–The Community Room will remain closed for now. We are working toward getting some covered outdoor seating.
All of this remains subject to change as state and national protocols change and as we learn more about how best to implement our process.
