HARNEY COUNTY LIBRARY REOPENS!

• Beginning Wednesday, June 17, 2020, Harney County Library will reopen with new procedures in place. To minimize infection risk and keep staff from being overwhelmed, we plan to reopen the library in phases. During this first phase the library will be open Monday through Friday from 10:30 am to 2:30 pm.
• The number of people in the building at one time shall be no more than ten. We are asking you to limit your visit to 15 minutes.
• Everyone will be required to either sanitize their hands or wear gloves. You will be required to wear a face covering. We have masks available in the lobby. If one staff member tests positive for COVID-19, the library will be closed for two weeks for recovery and quarantine.
  
• We will continue to quarantine returned items for three days so you may notice titles still on your account that you previously returned. Any accrued fines during quarantine will be removed from your account.
  
• Computer use will be by appointment: 45 minutes per session with time to sanitize machines between users. Wi-Fi is still available outside the building. We encourage you to use this as we are limiting the number of people who can be in the library.
• Please ask for staff assistance with the copy machine so we can follow sanitizing protocols.
• The Western History Room will be open by appointment only. Please call 541-573-6670 to set up a time to meet with Karen.

Curbside delivery will continue and be extended from 10 AM to 4 PM. Please call ahead so we can have your items ready when you arrive.

We look forward to seeing you all again in the library! Please help us stay healthy by following our new procedures.
