Effective March 13, 2020:

After careful consideration, and in the best interest of our participants and attendees, most library programming (such as computer classes) will be postponed due to the current coronavirus (COVID-19) situation. We deeply appreciate your support and look forward to your participation when that programming is resumed.

A limited amount of library programming may be offered that complies with mask requirements (covering the nose and mouth) and social distancing requirements.
