Updated 7/8/22: Per CDC recommendations, face coverings are optional in the library. We are still providing disposable masks if you choose to use one in the library. For indoor events we are recommending that attendees wear masks, but it is not required. We will continue to monitor COVID community transmission rates and may make changes to our safety protocol if risk levels change.
STUDY ROOMS & WORKSPACES
We have reopened our two small study rooms and they can be reserved by calling the library. You may reserve a room up to one month in advance, and no more than three times per week for up to three hours at a time.
There are also outdoor workspaces – with shaded spaces and spaces near outlets – that are available. All workspaces are available first come, first served. If you need to talk on the phone or do a zoom call, we ask that you use one of our study rooms or outdoor spaces.
The Maine Studies Room and Garden Room upstairs are available for quiet study but the doors must remain open so that patrons can browse the collections in those rooms. For that reason, we also request no phone calls or videoconferencing in those rooms.
