After
careful consideration of the rapidly-evolving COVID-19/Coronavirus
situation, The
Red River County Public Library will be closed effective immediately until further notice.
Containment
measures that are in place BEFORE
the virus emerges in a community are most effective. We feel it is
important, and our duty, to be proactive in taking any preventive
actions that we can to protect the
health of our patrons and our community.
We urge all members of the community to follow the CDC guidelines
found at: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html
HOWEVER,
we are well aware how fundamental reading is to stave off loneliness,
pass the time, and of course help us manage our mental health.
During this time (that feels more like the plot of a novel than real
life) we will be offering the following:
DRIVE-UP,
CARRYOUT SERVICE
During
select hours, staff will be available to put your items in a
designated spot by our library door. Our building will remain closed
to the public, but we are happy to check out books and movies to keep
you busy at home! Items will be cleaned and disinfected between uses.
Because of expected disruptions to our delivery service, we can not
guarantee a specific title for you.
You
may search our card catalog on rrlibrary.org or ask us
for recommendations. Please keep your requests simple like “picture
books with animals” or “Mary Higgins Clark or similar authors”
or “funny movies rated PG-13 or lower.”
You
can send your requests by email, Facebook message, or text.
