Library Buildings to Reopen!
All CMPL locations are reopening on Monday, July 6. All CMPL  locations will be operating in a "grab-and-go" model. This is intended to allow you to freely browse the shelves to select and check out the items of your choice or pick up held items, but then to enjoy those items elsewhere. What to expect when you visit:
- Anyone experiencing a COVID-19 related symptom should not enter.
- A face covering must be worn while in the library other than children under the age of 2. Anyone not wishing to wear a face covering should use our curbside/drive-up window pickup service.
- Members not of the same household must remain at least 6’ apart.
- We will continue to quarantine all returned items for 72 hours.
- Hand sanitizer and disposable keyboard covers will be available for use.
- Public computers will be limited and may be used up to 60 minutes by reservation.
- Seating will be limited and meeting rooms will not be available.
- Toys, puzzles, newspapers, magazines, water fountains and frequently touched items will not be available.
We look forward to seeing you again and resuming as many library services as soon as possible!
