| We know it is hard on caregivers, especially in winter, to find fun things to occupy children. We have made the decision to open the Children’s area of the library by reservation only. |
| FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF OUR STAFF AND PATRONS, USE OF THE CHILDREN’S AREA REQUIRES THEN FOLLOWING: Caregivers must call the library to request a time slot to visit the Children’s Room. The room will be available for reservation between 11:30AM and 3:30PM Wednesday – Saturday. Reservations may be made by calling the library at 518-963-8079 during open hours only. Please do not leave reservation requests on the answering machine. Those who have ‘Covid safe pods’ may reserve together, but we reserve the right to limit the number of people visiting at one time. All visitors must be on the reserve list. Caregivers are requested to wipe down toys used by young children before leaving. Wipes will be provided. Visitors may reserve the room for one hour. If no reservations follow yours, visit time may be extended. Children over the age of two must remain masked in the downstairs area of the library. If your younger child will tolerate a mask, we ask that you also mask them in the downstairs area. To insure the librarian’s safety, please stand back from the desk while checking out materials, and please do not linger in the downstairs area with young children, especially those who are unmasked. |
