Library Services with health and safety in mind
In light of the pandemic, we have been making changes to better serve our patrons in a safer environment. We continue to strive to provide service that ‘Educates, Entertains, Enriches and Inspires’ with health and safety in mind.
This project is funded in part through the Oklahoma Department of Libraries with a Federal grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services through the American Rescue Plan Act.
They have made possible a designated indoor book return, air purifiers for heavy traffic areas, a camera for digital content, PPE supplies, a cart for disinfecting materials, an Everything program cart and educational, non-fiction books to help our patrons studying from home.
This project is made possible by the Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the American Rescue Plan Act, administered by the Oklahoma Department of Libraries. However, the opinions expressed by a grant supported outside agent do not necessarily reflect the position or policy of ODL or IMLS, and no official endorsement by those entities should be inferred.
