COVID-19

Please note that all COVID 19 safety protocols will be in place at all branches of the Library - masks, hand santizer and a limit on the number of patrons allowed in the Library at one time.

Returned materials will be cleaned, and quarantined for a period of time, before being placed back on the shelves.  Although we strive to sanitize and practice safe handling of materials, The Whitewater Region Public Library cannot guarantee the sanitization of library items.  Please handle them with caution.

Patrons should wash their hands before and after handling books and other items, avoid touching their face while reading and to avoid sneezing and coughing onto items.

Patrons who are immunosuppressed or otherwise susceptible to COVID-19 infection should not take out items from the library.
