The library is now fully back open. The curtain around the desk is gone, the computers are all open, you can browse and pick out your own things.

The only thing we kept is the keyboard are still covered, this is to help keep them clean. There is hand sanitizer at each computer station, and hand sanitize is till placed on the desk and on the table in the other room.

We are doing in-library programing for summer reading, with the option for those who want to do get grab n’ go .
