Pandemic Reopening Stage 4: The "Grab and Go Library" Imlay Branch
March 15, 2021
What’s Open:
Front part of the building and all the stacks (shelves of items)
1 catalog computer
2 laptop computers
Copy machine
Faxing and printing
Front restroom
Staff available for questions as long as safety and social distancing requirements met
What’s Closed or Unavailable Due to Safety Restrictions:

Downstairs Meeting Room
Computer Lab
Toys & Puzzle Table
Magazines & Newspapers

What New Limits and Restrictions Are Now in Place:
Masks or face coverings required for entry (except for children under 5)
Hand sanitizer upon entry
12 patrons at one time maximum occupancy, others wait 6 feet apart outside
1 hour visit limit
1 hour computer limit (may be extendable for emergencies)
Returned items quarantined and sanitized before check-in
No book or other material donations at this time
No in-person programs or events
Staff performing additional enhanced cleaning of shared and high touch items
These changes are all related to protecting the health and safety of our staff and visitors during the pandemic. This includes preventing crowding and large numbers of people in enclosed spaces; shortening the time visitors spend in an enclosed public space; and lessening potential exposure to the virus by removing multiple touch points and high frequency touch items (like toys and magazines.) Using masks and sanitizer helps protect everyone who enters shared spaces like the stacks or touches shared items like books and DVD cases.
We are sorry about all the restrictions, but happy that we will get to see you in person once again. Hopefully we can keep safely moving forward toward normalcy sometime in the near future.
Thank you for your patience and support during this difficult time!
Elements of the Reopening Stage are subject to change.
