The Carrollton Public Library Board met for their monthly session on June 23rd and has announced the following plan for reopening the library\u2019s physical building and restoration of in-house programming to begin on MONDAY, JULY 6, 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The library\u2019s building will be open to the public with NO limits of patrons for browsing in the main library and the normal computer usage policies have been restored. The library encourages patrons to continue to adhere to social distancing guidelines as set forth by public health officials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Patrons visiting the library\u2019s building will be encouraged to wear masks and use the hand sanitizer dispensers placed throughout the building. The library will continue the quarantine of books and materials, sanitizing protocols, and patron sign-in sheets upon arrival. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Library Board restored in-house programming for the summer beginning July 6th. Therefore, specific programs will be available for those child care providers, family units, and groups to attend from July 6th through August 6th. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The NO-CONTACT services will still continue as these services have been well received by our patron base. These services include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The library\u2019s book drops located outside the main library on Folger Street and in the parking lot off Monroe Street remain open for book returns. Patrons are asked to use the outside book returns when possible, however, there is an inside book return for items. This is due to quarantining and sanitization measures to ensure the safety of library materials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Get Connected courier service funded by the Missouri State Library is operational and patrons can place holds on items from Missouri Evergreen consortium libraries. Expect a longer wait time for your materials as quarantine and sanitizing protocols are followed by library staff around the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Carrollton Public Library has digital collections that include thousands of items using Overdrive through www.molib2go.org<\/a> or the LIBBY APP or AXIS360 APP, Tumblebooks, and MOREnet\u2019s Learning Express Library and Ebsco for learning resources.
