When you come inside you will be handed a carrier to hold the books and DVDs you are considering. Touch it? Take it! leaving what you don't borrow in your carrier.
Hand sanitizing prior to leaving is also required.

Materials handled by patrons but not borrowed will be sanitized before being re-shelved, and carriers will be sanitized between patrons. We will continue to quarantine all other returns for a minimum of three days before re-shelving.
