Thompson Public Library and COVID-19

In response to the COVID-19 Pandemic Thompson Public Library has adopted the following policies and procedures to keep our community safe.

Hours:  The library will be open from 9:30-11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings and 2-4:00 p.m. on Tuesday through Friday afternoons.  Library hours before and after those times will ge used to clean the library and library materials.

The number of patrons at any one time in the library will be limited to 5 for a 30 minute visit.  Children under 12 must be accompanied and supervised by an adult (18 yrs or older).

Patrons are strongly encouraged to wear masks while in the library and use hands sanitizer when entering the library. Hand sanitizer is provided.  A mask will be provided if the patron does not have one.  Patrons are also encouraged to use appropriate social distancing.

Computers:  One desktop computer will be available for use along with both laptops.  Computer time is also limited to a 30 min. session. Hand sanitizer will be placed by each keyboard and patrons are expected to use it before using the computer.  Keyboards and mice will be cleaned between users.

Bathrooms and the meeting rooms remain closed to the public at this time.

The Library will review, adjust and update these procedures continually.  We are committed to serving our community while maintaining recommended protocols for public safety.

We will provide curbside service for anyone who wishes to use it.  Just let us know what you would like to check out and we can have it ready for your pick up.
