Library Update

Libraries are following strict guidelines in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Daily operation includes spacing individual users and limiting the number of people present in the building. The library will implement these phases in accordance with recommendations made by the Governor, the Centers for Disease Control, and the Library Board of Commissioners. The plan is subject to change with statewide directives from the Governor’s Office.

Phase 1

The library will reopen on Tuesday, May 26, 2020 with limited service. The services are listed below:

Patrons are asked to return books in the book drop. (All returned materials will be quarantined for a period of 3 days before being placed back into circulation.)

Patrons may call and request items. Please wait for a return call confirmation before coming to the library to pick up items. Please present a pictured ID/driver’s license to support a non-contact transaction. Your library card is not needed during this time.

Curbside delivery will mean picking up your materials located on a cart outside of the front door.

We will offer special “drive-up” service for elderly, high-risk or physically challenged patrons Wednesday-Saturday from 11:00 – 12:00 noon.

Copying and faxing services will be available with drop-off and pick-up at the door. For convenience sake, the library will make free black and white copies (limit 10 pages) and free faxes (limit 5 pages) until we open fully.

We will continue to be “fine free” until we have resumed a normal routine.

Staff will be required to wear masks and gloves while working with the public.

Staff will be available after Tuesday, April 19, 2020 to answer questions and to take messages. Updates concerning PHASE 2 will be listed here and on our Facebook account. 

 Thanks for your patience during this time.
