Director's Report
As the flu becomes more prevalent this time of year, the library is taking steps to stop the spread as much as possible in our buildings and want to ask the public to help us. We have pump bottles of sanitizer available for patrons to use at each of our service desks and our cleaning crew wipes down the "common touch" areas such as light switches, doorknobs, and toilet handles nightly. The staff would like to encourage patrons to wash their hands before and after using the public computers, as the keyboards get a great amount of use everyday. The keyboards are also cleaned regularly, but we can't clean between each and every patron, so please help yourselves by washing your hands or using the sanitizer we have available. Thanks!
Trish Burns,
