No Changes for Library Services After State Announcement On May 13

Libraries continue to open for visits or curbside pickup. The state announcement on May 13 does not affect our services. Our mask requirements have not changed.

Everyone still needs to wear a mask at all times inside the library. This is because there is no fail-safe way for staff to know who has been vaccinated and who has not. Even vaccinated people need to wear a mask during their visit. Your mask must cover your nose and mouth. Vented masks, bandanas, and neck gaiters are not acceptable.

You don't need to wear a mask while using contactless services outside the library. Masks are not required while waiting in line and picking up items at Curbside to Go or Express Holds.

Staff will continue to wear masks.
