March 12, 2020

The Baldwin Public Library is closely monitoring information about COVID-19 and is taking steps to help reduce the spread of the virus. The health and safety of staff and Library-users is our priority. Because of this, we are making the following modifications to our Library services:

• All Library programs and events from Friday, March 13 through Tuesday, March 31 have been cancelled.
• The Idea Lab is available by appointment or for 3D print pickups only.
• The Computer Lab is unavailable for use.
• Home Delivery via U.S. Mail is available for any patron who wishes to have materials or holds sent to their home. To enroll in this program, contact Adult Services at 248-554-4650 or online.
• We recommend using Curbside Pickup if you do not wish to enter the Library building.

In addition to regular cleaning, we’re taking the following precautions to keep the Library sanitized:

• Increasing the frequency with which we disinfect door handles, railings, tables, computer areas, equipment, and frequently used areas.
• Reconfiguring computers and seating to allow for 4 to 6 foot spacing between users.
• Continuing to make gel hand sanitizers and soap available for Library users.
• Sanitizing toys in our Kids Corner and removing plush toys from the Kids Corner.

The Baldwin Public Library will remain open to the public with normal hours of operation. Please visit our website for updated information. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
