Staying Safe

The health and safety of our staff and community is our top priority. We are taking several steps to provide a safe environment, such as reconfiguring the building to allow for social distancing, increasing the sanitization of public surfaces, and using Pure Spaces HOCl to regularly disinfect the building. For the safety of all, if you are feeling unwell, please wait to visit us at another time.

What You Can Expect at Your Next Visit

Face coverings are required. Curbside service is always available as an alternative.

The building capacity is currently set at 10. You may be asked to wait in line until we have space for additional people.

Visitors will have 30 minutes to use the library.

Everyone is expected to maintain six feet of distance from one another at all times. The space has been reconfigured to allow for this; we have increased signage and added floor markers to help guide you.

Food and drink are not permitted in the building at this time.

Library materials must be returned to the outdoor dropbox and will be quarantined for 96 hours before they are checked in. Do not worry if you see returned items on your account during this time; we no longer charge fines for overdue materials.

One-on-one assistance with computers or the copier may not be possible at this time.

Our express computers and print release station are currently unavailable; all printing must be picked up at the service desk.

Library programs will remain virtual until further notice. Our study rooms and meeting space are also unavailable.

The Library of Things collection and Discovery Packs are not available.

The local history collection is not available to use, but many items are digitized and accessible from our Local History and Genealogy page.

We are currently unable to accept book donations. We hope to reinstate this service when we reach Phase 4 of our Reopening Plan.

If you don't feel comfortable coming inside just yet, don't worry. We will still offer many of our services remotely, including mobile printing, virtual browsing, and curbside pickup by request. Our digital library and online resources are always available 24/7. Visit our Library at Home page to stay connected.

If you need help or have questions, staff are ready to assist you over the phone during operating hours, online through our live chat service, or by email.

Please check back here or follow us on social media for further updates. We look forward to welcoming you back into our building very soon!

REOPENING PLAN

We are currently transitioning to Phase 3 of our Reopening Plan. While we cannot provide a specific timeline for each phase, we hope this will answer some of your questions. Please keep in mind that we may need to move back and forth between phases if something changes. If you have other concerns, do not hesitate to reach out.
