With the COVID-19 safety guidelines related to public libraries recently rescinded, we have been able to restore a number of library services:
Patrons may return items inside or using our exterior bookdrop; we no longer need to quarantine library returns.
In-library seating and study spaces are available. Quiet room reservations will be limited to allow time for cleaning between uses.
Newspapers are back on the shelf for reading in-house.
In-person programming will begin outdoors (weather permitting) June 21st.
This plan could be revised as a result of changes in the public health environment, as well as revisions to state and federal guidance.
A note about our meeting rooms: We are not accepting reservations for our meeting rooms until the Fall. The Library will need the summer to determine our space needs for programming and Town related activities.
