The past few surreal months have been defined by dedication, the foundation upon which the Library staff has sought to serve our community. It drives Library leadership and staff to try to provide a bit of normalcy in far from normal times, to get way out of our comfort zone and deliver services virtually, to create an overwhelmingly successful curbside service, and to deal with a much diminished budget. The Abington Township Public Libraries are working to reconnect with our patrons. Our goal, when we reopen the building, will be to reconnect you with our resources and services, while ensuring the health and safety of the public and the Library staff. Because we still don’t see a firm reopening date, the following might change on a dime (as it seems everything does these days), but I want to share our plans as they stand today. Thank you for your continued understanding: we cannot wait to see you in person! In order to comply with Commonwealth and Township orders and guidelines, changes have been made to our operating policies and procedures that will be in effect when we reopen and they will stay in effect as long as needed. As a visiting guest, you will agree to the following new rules:
The Library may require you to leave the premises if you do not comply with all the above rules, and may also restrict or curtail your borrowing privileges. We plan to continue to offer some degree of curbside pickup even after we reopen the building. Because more than half of our staff has been laid off or furloughed, the number of hours we will be open is yet to be determined, but will certainly include one evening and one weekend day. We all need to continue to be flexible and resilient. We all need to be grateful and patient. Let’s dedicate ourselves to working together, as our Library has always been a constant, wonderful part of our lives, and we all need a little stability right now.
