We are still following COVID-19 safety guidelines in order to keep our staff and patrons safe. Guidelines in place are:
- Masks are requested and appreciated as the CDC recommends unvaccinated individuals to wear a mask in public. Please respect patrons, visitors, and staff by wearing a mask when inside the JKPL.
- We have three rooms available for patrons to use for groups of up to 20 people (social distancing may not feasible).
- We encourage everyone to wash or sanitize their hands upon entering the library.
- Reusable bags are provided upon entry for patrons to use to hold their library materials.
- Returned / handled items will be quarantined for a minimum of 24 hours before being checked in and shelved.
- Events may be in-person, virtual, or a hybrid of both. In-person events do have capacity restrictions in place and registration will be required and/or requested for most in-person events.
