After being closed to walk-in traffic since March, Rawlins Municipal Library reopened to limited walk-in traffic this week (Tues.).
Robin Schrupp, Library Director, says with the Library’s COVID reopening plan will happen in phases. She says they’re starting with reduced hours, limited foot traffic and adults-only services. She says the Library will continue to offer curb-side service, just as it has since the pandemic began in March.
To keep staff and patrons safe during the COVID-19 pandemic, the following practices are in place at Rawlins Municipal Library.
- Library Hours: Monday – Friday, 10 a.m. – 3 p.m.
- Patrons will need to verify healthy status upon entering the building.
- People under the age of 18 will not be permitted in the building.
- Patrons are strongly encouraged to wear masks when in the building.
- Patrons should use the provided hand sanitizer before entering the main library.
- Patrons are advised to maintain six-foot social distancing recommendations when in the library.
- Patrons should limit their library visits to 30 minutes.
- Some portions of the library are inaccessible to the general population.
Schrupp says Rawlins Library staff will do their utmost to disinfect materials and surfaces, but they cannot guarantee personal safety. She says using a public building, even with protections in place, carries an element of risk.
