Before You Come to the Library-
Here are key things you need to know:
1.
You must be wearing a mask to enter. You must have medical permission to enter without
a mask and you must have that permission with you.
2.
We will have a hand sanitizing station at the
library entrance and we will require patrons to sanitize their hands upon
entry.
3.
Safe social distancing will be required.
4.
All chairs have been removed from our public
spaces. We strongly encourage our patrons
to select their materials, check them out, and exit the building. Lingering in our library is strongly
discouraged.
4.
Our rest rooms will not be available to the
public at this time.
We understand that this will be a new and sometimes
difficult environment. We ask for your patience
as we go through this process. Not only
are these provisions designed to keep our patrons and staff as safe as
possible, but they are required by the state in order to remain open. Thank you for your continued support!
Curbside Pickup:
For those who do not wish to enter the library, curbside pickup will continue! Here is how it will work:
·
You can place material requests by calling us at 856-589-1656 or via email (library@mccowan-pitman.org) and
social media anytime.
· We will let you know when the material is available.
· Call us when you are outside the library and we will run it out to you.
