COVID-19 GUIDELINES FOR VISITING AN LCLC LIBRARY
For the safety of all, we ask that people who feel ill do not come inside. Patrons visibly sick or coughing/sneezing excessively will be asked to leave.
Masks are optional. *Subject to change.
The Parkland Community Library follows guidance from the Office of Commonwealth Libraries, which states that libraries can issue policies for using local facilities as determined by county, municipal, or library decisions.
Thank you for helping to keep our communities safe!
