City of Boulder issued the following announcement on Aug. 6.
Library staff encourages patrons to access the online catalog and place holds on items before coming to the library. Much of the library is off limits to customers to prevent the spread of COVID-19, with very limited access to the library’s collections. Patrons can enter the library through the main entrance on Arapahoe Ave. Mandatory face coverings, occupancy limits and social distancing are all required.
The health and safety of patrons is the number one priority. The library is always proactively cleaning, as well as using high-tech equipment to clean frequently touched spaces at night. Returned materials are quarantined for 72 hours before being checked in and returned to the shelves.
Due to financial impacts, library staffing and services have been reduced to meet these constraints. The capacity to purchase and process new materials as quickly as the library has in the past has been impacted.
