To our Newfound Area Community,
I am thrilled to announce the library will begin its next phase of reopening on Monday, June 8 with curbside service! The library will begin accepting returns of library items in its drop box outside the main entrance on Wednesday, June 3.
The curbside service, beginning Monday, June 8, will allow library cardholders to request books, audiobooks, videos, and magazines by placing holds using their online accounts, or by calling or emailing the library. Details of how to request library materials and return items can be found further down in this newsletter and on our website at minotsleeperlibrary.org/curbside.html.
The library will also lend museum passes through its curbside service for venues that are currently open, including New Hampshire State Parks and beginning on Monday, June 15, the Vermont Institute of Natural Science. For updates on museum passes, visit minotsleeperlibrary.org/museum-passes.html.
The library has implemented additional safety precautions during the pandemic to ensure the health of its staff and community. All materials being returned to the library will be quarantined for a set period, then wiped down with an alcohol-based solution. Staff will wear masks and gloves while handling library materials, both incoming and outgoing. The library trustees and staff ask that patrons refrain from using latex gloves when handling library materials to protect those with a latex allergy. All COVID-19-related policies and procedures are based on scientific research and guidance provided by the Centers for Disease and Control Prevention (CDC), the Governor’s Universal Guidelines, and local and state Health Officials.
If you are interested in requesting books, videos, and magazines through the library’s curbside service, or you have questions about other services, please visit www.minotsleeperlibrary.org/curbside.html, call the library at 603-744-3352, or email [email protected]. The staff and I look forward to hearing from you and to seeing all of your smiling faces, even if it’s from 6 feet away outside of the building!
