Dear Parents:
As we enter the 2020-2021 school year, we are also stepping into a new style of learning, safety and health awareness. By now you have received information regarding the opening of school and all the special protocols that need to be followed for a safe and healthy environment.
The Richards Library is no different in this area. In order to maintain the health and safety of our patrons and staff, we are informing you of the changes we are instituting.
For the time being, school children will not be allowed in the Library after school. The children can still be on the Library’s grounds to await rides or wait for friends who walk home with them. And, if any child feels that they are being threatened or in danger, they can still use the Library as a safe space; all they need to do is knock on our door.
These changes are not permanent and will be revised as the health crisis evolves and as our hours and services expand. We will allow the children back into the Library, but at a date to be determined.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to call us at 518-623-3011.
