Employee Health Screening

All employees have been provided a screening questionnaire to review every day before reporting to work.

• Have you been diagnosed or been advised by a health care professional to self-quarantine or self-isolate?
• Do you currently have, or in the last 3 days, have you had any of the following symptoms; dry, persistent cough; sort throat; shortness of breath; muscle aches; or fever greater than 100.4?
• In the last 14 days, have you been exposed to anyone who has informed you that he/she has been diagnosed with COVID-19 or who has been advised by a health care professional to self-quarantine or isolate?

If an employee answers “yes” to any of the questions, they will not report to work.

Enhanced Cleaning

All employees will disinfect their areas and high-touch materials at the beginning and end of each shift.  Materials will be quarantined for 24 hours when returned by library users.

Hand-washing/Sanitizing

Employees and customers have access to multiple restrooms with hand washing guidelines posted at sinks.  Hand sanitizer is available throughout the building.  Employees are expected to practice frequent handwashing.
