Starting August 1, the Library will resume hosting in-person programs! 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 for all in-person events.
Introducing Checkers Library TV for kids!
The JKPL is pleased to offer a new on demand children’s program series this fall designed for children ages 3-8. Checkers Library TV is a weekly educational entertainment program starring Checkers the Inventor, his robot sidekick and a variety of visitors. A new video will be released weekly and kids can come to the library every Tuesday at 4pm to watch the program and then complete some fun related activities. The videos can also be watched on demand on the JKPL Facebook page and YouTube Channel. For more information check the calendar of events!
