Per Executive Order 2020-145 stores of less than 50,000 square feet of customer floor space must limit the number of people in the store (including employees) to 25% of the total occupancy limits established by the State Fire Marshal or a local fire marshal. This means that for the Main Library only five (5) patrons at a time may be in the building at one time. The Fairview Branch allows three (3) patrons in building at one time. Both locations are open by appointment only, please call to schedule your appointment.
