Jennie Woodworth Library of White Bluff COVID-19 Guidelines

Updated April 1, 2021

Our goal is to ensure as safe of an environment as possible while library services resume. We want both the patrons and staff to know they are valued. We will evaluate these guidelines as we progress.

  

1.    Patrons are requested to follow social distance requirements of at least 6 feet apart.

2.    Staff reserves the right to deny access to patrons who appear to be sick, i.e., coughing, sneezing, etc.

3.    Patrons are encouraged to wash their hands before entering the library. Wearing a face mask is requested. Please be considerate of others.

4.    Materials are to be returned to the box that is at the circulation desk.  Each returned item will be disinfected and quarantined a minimum of 48 hours before being available for checkout.

5.    While following the social distancing requirements, patrons will be allowed to study and use the free wi-fi service available throughout the building.

6.    Staff will not be able to provide one on one technology assistance at this time due to social distancing. Staff will remain at the circulation desk during hours of operation, if a patron needs assistance they are to come to the desk and request what they need.

7.    We request that the vulnerable and elderly use the library from 10-12 Monday – Saturday. All patrons may use the library from 12 until close. (Monday & Thursday 10-6, Tuesday, Wednesday, & Friday 10-5, and Saturday 10-2)

8.     These guidelines are in addition to existing Library policy.
