THE EDMESTON FREE LIBRARY IS OPENED
Be healthy:
All patrons must be sure that they are healthy and not exposed to COVID 19 prior to entering the library. This means that you should stay home if you have cold symptoms, cough or fever or known exposure.
Social distancing:
Maintain a minimum of 6 feet of distance from others at all times. When you enter the library you should wear a mask and put on gloves to peruse the shelves and handle the books. After you leave, either take your gloves with you or dispose of them at the door.
Cleanliness:
Hand Sanitizer, gloves, masks, hot water and soap are provided within the library for your use. Use gloves and stay at least 6 feet from others unless they are your family.
Book and material care:
We are open only twice a week in order to allow any possible trace of the virus to be gone if we should be exposed. Please just leave returned materials on the cart by the desk. Those materials will not be handled for 72 hours after they have been dropped off.
