The Dunbarton Public Library moves forward to
Phase Three of our Phased Reopening Plan.
We have begun to offer limited inside “In and Out” Browsing Services --by 30-minute appointment. Please make your appointment in advance by phone or email. The number of people in the building will be occupancy-limited to three people (two people and the director), OR a parent with a family unit, to allow for a minimum of 6 feet social distancing. A 30-minute appointment may be used for computer use. Only one person per computer.
Please note that there will be no public seating or tables for meeting until further notice.
During Phase Three, all patrons over the age of 3 will be required to wear a face covering over the nose and the mouth while in the building. If a patron is unable or unwilling to wear a face covering, or is unable to enter the building, they may use the outside No-Contact Curbside Pickup. This service will be offered to all until further notice. Please choose your comfort level.
The 10:00-11:00 AM hour each day will be reserved for seniors and high-risk or immunocompromised library users. We ask everyone to respect this accommodation.
_____________________________________________________
In order to facilitate a safe environment for staff and the public, the Dunbarton Public Library supports precautions intended to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 per NH DHHS and the CDC.
Virtual programs will continue until further notice.
Library hours for appointments and curbside pick-ups will remain:
Tuesday-Friday, 10:00 AM-4:00 PM
And Saturday, 10:00 AM-2:00 PM
We are happy to welcome you back, and appreciate your patience as we
make employee and community safety our first priority.
It is important to note that our plan is a working document.
Details are fluid and subject to change.
Be safe and be well.

The joy of reading in the outdoors is a wonderful experience for all ages. Story Walks are set up for walkers to read each laminated page of a story (attached to stakes) and installed around the front of our building. This is a great way for readers to enjoy and interact with a story in an outdoor setting, while promoting physical activity. Start at our front door! Please social distance. Thank you.
StoryWalks were created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, Vermont, in partnership with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library.
