Flooding Delays Reopening Of Sharon Public Library

SHARON, MA — Flooding on the lower floor has delayed the reopening of the Sharon Public Library.

The library was closed on Monday on what would have been the first day of reopening as part of phase 3 of the state's reopening plans. Curbside pickup was also canceled for Monday.

As part of the reopening — when the library does reopen — it will be closed between 2 and 3 p.m. each day for sanitizing of frequently touched surfaces. Parents are advised to keep children away from the library if they are feeling ill in any way.

Masks are required within the library, hand sanitizer will be available and social distancing is mandated among other patrons and staff.

Those entering the library will be allowed to do so in the lower level, with those exiting doing so upstairs in the foyer.

There will be limits on how many people can be in the library at any one time.

Visitors are limited to one hour sessions, directional arrows will be on the floor to maintain social distancing and elevator use is restricted to one person or family group at one time.

Reference services are available on line and in a limited way in person. Reservations are recommended for computers with one-hour time limits in place.
