The Hailey Public Library will resume limited browsing beginning Friday, Sept. 11. Access is limited to 15 visitors at a time for a maximum of 30 minutes, and self-checkout is encouraged.
The children’s library will accommodate one family at a time. Computer access is available on the hour for 60-minute slots. Library hours will remain 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday through September.
“The safety of both visitors and staff has been our number one priority,” said library director Lyn Drewien. “We’re delighted to reopen now for in-person browsing and have many new releases to tantalize avid readers. I’m sure our virtual collections will continue to be popular and the public can still reserve books online for in-person pickup.”
Face covering and social distancing protocols will be in effect and children under the age of 15 must be accompanied by an adult. The library will continue to offer its popular adult and children’s programs virtually. The drop box is available 24/7 but no book donations are being accepted at this time.
