Policy

Stockton Springs Community Library has re-opened as of June 1, 2020 . Covid-19 related restrictions are in place to make the library a safe place for you, your family, and our volunteer library staff.

The new rules are posted on the library door, our Facebook page, and website. Please call during library hours if you have questions or concerns.

One way you can make your visit safer and faster is to search our catalog online and request items in advance of your visit. Please allow sufficient time for a volunteer to fulfill your request. You can also check to see if an item is available before you come.The following slides provide instructions and examples on how to access the library catalog from our website.

THE LIBRARY WILL RE-OPEN MONDAY JUNE 1, 2020

In order to keep our volunteers and patrons safe this is our new policy:

1. Don’t come to the library if you feel sick or have been exposed to COVID-19

2. FACE COVERINGS are required for volunteers and patron safety

3. Maintain 6 feet physical distance in all areas of the library

4. No food or drink, including closed containers

We are allowed 5 patrons into the library at one time, so please limit the time that you are in to give others a chance.

Those that do not wear a face covering will be limited to curbside service subject to volunteer availability.

While we are following the state re-opening safety guidelines, patrons should be aware that there is some risk in using shared spaces with shared materials. We cannot guarantee a perfectly safe space.
