In accordance with the new CDC guidelines, people who are fully vaccinated no longer need to wear a mask in the library, though they may do so if they prefer. Those who are not vaccinated are asked to continue to wear a mask for the time being. Food and drinks may again be consumed in the library. Books may be returned to the circulation desk rather than the book drop. Please continue to socially distance and, of course, stay home if you are not feeling well.
The Summer issue of the library newsletter More Than Books is now available. You can read it here.
