COVID-19 Response & Current Services

As a valued community space, we make every effort to follow federal, state and county COVID-19 mitigation protocols.

Masks that properly cover the nose and mouth must be worn at all times while inside the library.

This is in accordance with the latest Pitkin County Public Health order, requiring that masks be worn inside public spaces. Patrons who refuse to comply may be asked to leave for the day.

Please also note that we are asking patrons to enjoy food and beverages in the library café area only; please do not eat anywhere else in the building. Additionally, we are no longer offering food at library events for the time being.

The following accommodations are available for those who are unable or unwilling to wear a mask:
