The Danville Public Library will be reopening for limited in-person service beginning on Monday (January 25th).
Library Director Jennifer Hess says the building will be open to “high-risk” patrons from 9-11 a.m. weekdays and from 11 a.m.-6 p.m. for everyone else. The building will be open for collection browsing and check out, in-person card registration and in-person reference assistance (by appointment only), limited seating, public computer use (adults and teens only) and copy, printing and faxing services. In order to maintain a safe social distance, only 50 patrons will be allowed in the library at one time.
Curbside service will still be available, including craft kits, along with the inter-library loan program. WiFi is also available in the library parking lot.
Patrons are required to wear a mask and maintain social distancing standards, including at service desks, while visiting the library.
For the safety of patrons and staff, some services will remain unavailable. These services include meeting and study rooms, newspapers and magazines, Teen Zone and MakerSpace, children’s and caregivers computers in the children’s room and seating areas, inside book drops and water
fountains. The library has also suspended the acceptance of donated materials.
