LIBRARY PROGRAMS AND ROOM USE DURING THE PANDEMIC
Our rules for use of meeting and study rooms at the Library have changed periodically during the COVID pandemic, and this will continue until infection rates decrease substantially and social gatherings no longer pose a serious risk of contagion. We will observe Town decisions regarding pandemic protocols and will monitor public health research when determining acceptable activities in our building.
- We may limit the number of library program participants or determine that “in-person” programs will be held virtually.
- We may decline requests for meeting room use by community groups when the proposed activity would prevent following announced protocols.
- We may cancel or postpone activities if the COVID situation worsens significantly, even if the activity was previously announced or approved.
