At 9:30 a.m. on April 5, Library Operations Assistant Taylor Greene opened the door to the LW Library to an eager, socially distanced line of patrons. After more than a year, residents can once again browse for books and media, as well as use the computers on site by reservation. (Newspapers are unavailable at this time.) Judie Jacobus was the first to be greeted by Greene, who welcomed patrons back by clapping as they entered. Each masked person had to sign in with Nancy Pering first, and capacity limits were strictly enforced.
“This is so exciting!” said Rose Banfield as she crossed the threshold, the third person to do so.
The Library will be open Monday through Saturday, from 9:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. The staff asks that patrons limit their visits to 10-15 minutes.
