CPPL Covid-19 Operating Procedures
Download CPPL Covid-19 Operating Procedures
Out of an abundance of caution and to slow the spread of Covid-19, the library is
eliminating all in-library services and reverting to doorside only. You can pick-up items
at the front door and return items into our book drops. All other library business can be
transacted via phone, email or live chat during the hours of Monday through Friday
10a-4:30p. Programs will continue to be offered virtually. This change will take effect
Monday, November 23, 2020 and until further notice. The Mayor and Council, Public
Health Nurse and the Library Board of Trustees will continue to monitor the public
health situation and modify services accordingly.
