LIBRARY TEMPORARILY CLOSED EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY
After carefully considering a multitude of factors and the rapidly changing situation around novel coronavirus (COVID-19),
the Norman Williams Public Library will be
temporarily closed to the public beginning on Monday, March 16 through Tuesday,
March 31. At that time, we will reassess the situation.
We made this decision to support the overall health and wellness of our community and for the safety of our patrons and staff. It was a difficult decision, as we
care deeply about serving the public, but the responsible thing to do—and the
best way to serve our patrons right now—is to help minimize the potential
spread of COVID-19. While we have been proud to stay open to serve the public
amid storms and other emergencies, the best way we can serve our patrons now is
to help contain the virus, especially as our patrons include many seniors and
others at high risk.
We know the Library is a critical resource for people of all ages, so we are taking
steps to support our patrons as much as possible during this temporary closure:
● All late fees will be suspended and due dates extended during the closure period.
●Through the Library you have access to e-books and other online sources. To
● Stay tuned to further communications on our webpage, Facebook, email newsletter
and the Woodstock Listserv.
● We will be back in touch with more details within the next couple days
It is important that we all do our part to keep our community healthy and safe.
Be well,
