Piedmont Valley Library General Reopening Procedures
In order to protect the community and the library staff while still providing essential services, the following procedures are adopted:
- Hours and Staffing
- Many library staff members and volunteers are at increased risk for this virus; as such, the front desk will only be staffed with those team members who can operate this area of increased risk safely.
- Given this limited number of available front desk personnel and given the increased need for cleaning that reopening represents, library hours will be limited and at the discretion of the library director.
- Library hours are dependent on the availability of healthy staff.
- At risk volunteers and staff may work on projects during closed hours as needed.
- Facilities Use
- No more than 10 people may be in the library at any one time, including staff.
- Patrons must limit visits to no more than 30 minutes at any one time.
- Only one public computer may be used at any one time.
- Computer time is limited to 15 minutes per patron and computer station must be disinfected between each use.
- Materials removed from the shelves, but not checked out, must be placed on brown Returns cart at front desk, front Drop Box, or Donations table in the back for disinfection process.
- Patrons must use provided hand sanitizer on entering the building.
- Patrons are encouraged to wear masks when available and maintain social distancing of at least 6 feet at all times.
- Toys and coloring materials have been removed from the children’s area.
- All patrons under the age of 10 must be accompanied by an adult, as per standard policy. Supervising adult is responsible for insuring each child’s compliance with these guidelines.
- Patrons are encouraged to use the outdoor bathrooms provided by the city rather than the library’s facilities. Exceptions must be discussed with the front desk to allow for adequate disinfection after use.
- Patrons who do not follow these guidelines may be asked to leave the premises for the safety of the staff and other patrons.
- Curbside and virtual services will continue for the foreseeable future and patrons are encouraged to use these services when possible.
- In-Person events and activities have been cancelled in favor of virtual and curbside options for the foreseeable future.
