Advice from every reputable health organization at this point notes the importance of wearing some kind of mask to limiting the spread of COVID-19. For the sake of the health and safety of library staff and patrons, the following policy shall be implemented:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All persons entering the library must wear a face covering that fully covers both the nose and mouth and must maintain a six foot distance from all other persons when practicable. Reasonable accommodations such as curb-side service, phone and email reference, and online resources are available to those who are medically prevented from or decline to wear a face covering. Those refusing to wear an appropriate face covering and maintaining a six foot distance with others shall not be admitted to the library. Anyone who removes their mask once admitted will be required to leave the library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This policy takes effect immediately. It shall be lifted automatically when the Illinois Department of Public Health declares that the state has reached Phase 5 of the Restore Illinois plan. The policy shall be reinstated automatically should the Illinois Department of Public Health determine that the state must return to any phase lower than Phase 5 of the Restore Illinois plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
