Manlius Library has made numerous changes to protect the safety of our staff and patrons.

For the safety of our patrons and staff, patrons must adhere to social distancing guidelines when in the library.

Library staff is screened daily to decrease chances of spreading the virus.

Glass barriers have been installed on the circulation desks and staff areas have been modified to provide safe distancing between staff and between staff and patrons, along with other updates that remove “touchpoints” and provide hand sanitizer throughout the building.

UV filters have been added to our HVAC system and we have increase the amount of outdoor air that comes into our building.

Restrooms are limited to one patron (or adult with children) at a time.

Public computers have been spaced further apart throughout the library to allow for social distancing and are disinfected between uses. Public computer sessions will be limited to one hour a day, and cannot be extended.

Toys are not available in the children’s area and games/puzzles are not available in the teen room.

Newspapers are not available. Magazines cannot be read in the library, but can be checked out.

An additional self-checkout station is available in the children’s area.

Regular disinfection of high-touch areas will occur, but please be certain to wash your hands or use hand sanitizer after being in public areas.

The café will be closed until further notice.

Rooms will be unavailable for reservations until further notice.

In-person programming is postponed until further notice, but please check out our virtual programs!

Thank you for following these guidelines to keep our staff and our community safe!
