Resuming Curbside Service


The library is still closed to the public.
 We plan to resume curbside services on May 18th as the “Stay at Home” order has been “loosened”. This is what it looks like:
-Books, DVDs, CDs may be checked out, but not magazines or newspapers. One staff member will be permitted in the building at a time.
- Curbside pickup will look just like it did as we phased into closing: patrons can call or email their requests and let us know what time they will be picking up materials. Staff will pull materials, place in the pick-up bin with patron’s name. Items will be placed in the pick-up bin 15 minutes prior to pick up time to avoid contact.
- Returned materials should be placed in the book slot in the door, as usual, and will be quarantined for 72 hours, then covers wiped with disinfectant before being checked out again.
-No donations will be accepted at the library.
- Virtual programs will continue.
- Patrons can email materials to the library to be printed and staff will leave them in the bin, just like any other curbside pickup.
- Although we will be taking every precaution possible, we cannot guarantee that library material is free of the COVID-19 virus. We therefore recommend that all borrowed library material be quarantined in your home for at least 4 days prior to use. The lending period had been extended to 3 weeks (rather than 2) to allow for this.
