Phase 4 Re-Opening

Douglass Public Library Posted on by

Monday, June 15th  we will start Phase 4 of re-opening the library.

Normal hours will resume.

There will be 8 or less patrons allowed in the library at a time.  We will have hand sanitizer for use upon arrival at the library. Please practice social distancing. Masks are not required but recommended.

Return items to the book drop or to the tub in front of the circulation desk.

Seating at tables will not be available and all newspapers, children's toys, etc. will be put away.

Three computers are available.  There will be a one hour time limit on computers.  They are available for adults only at this time.

We will also be doing copying and faxing.

You may still reserve books on line and have them delivered to your car if you are not comfortable coming into the library.

Thank you for your patience and understanding during this time!

We enjoy the volunteers with Love on a Leash, who bring in their furry four-legged friends, for the children in our community to read to.

           

Should Any Calamity Befall

Did you know that we have our very own author here at the library?  If you come into the library on Saturdays you will see Hannah behind the counter.  She has completed her first book and if you happened to have missed her book signing last month she still has copies available.  We also have a copy in the library for patrons to check out.
