Reopening

 

On March 9th, Nicholas P. Sims Library is reopening the doors to the community. The Library staff will take every precaution to clean frequently used surfaces appropriately.  Please understand that every item will not be cleaned after each patron visit; if you are sick or feeling you are getting ill, we ask that you please stay home.

​

Currently, older adults and persons with underlying health conditions are considered to be at increased risk of severe illness and complications from COVID-19. Examples of underlying health conditions include heart disease, lung disease, diabetes, people with weakened immune systems, and people who are pregnant. The CDC recommends that people in high-risk groups consult with their healthcare provider about entering public facilities.  If you feel you are in this category please consider utilizing Homebound or Curbside Service.

​

The Library staff has posted CDC guidelines in the appropriate entrances and restrooms.

​

Thank you in advance for your cooperation as we navigate through this pandemic.
