We have called the county Health Department and researched several additional health sources to
figure out the best course of action to keep the library from being Germ Central – for our valued
patrons as well as for ourselves. Custodians will be cleaning bathrooms, public surfaces, computer
keyboards, and doorknobs with anti-bacterial and -viral agents. In addition, staff will wipe down
surfaces several times a day. You, too, can help!

Please do not bring your child or yourself to the library if one of you
•        has a fever
•        is in the contagious stage of illness
•        is coughing or sneezing frequently
•        has stayed home from work or school because of illness
Staff and patrons will truly appreciate your consideration for them!

If you have been without a fever for 24 hours but are still symptomatic
•        Consider wearing a medical mask – you may ask at the front desk for one

Make frequent and liberal use of prevention measures available to all
•        Antibacterial gel at circulation desk, computers, and children’s area
•        Tissues for catching coughs and sneezes
•        Ask staff for antibacterial wipes to clean off tables, counters, and keyboards (but not computer
screens, please!)
•        Wash hands with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds after coughing, sneezing,
blowing nose, or using the bathroom
