Important Information to Know During this TimeThe board of trustees adopted a Re-Opening Action Plan in May 2020 that includes 5 Phases. We are currently on a modified Phase 4.

MODIFIED PHASE 4, EFFECTIVE June 7, 2021

In-library services:

  • Wearing masks is appreciated
  • Please respect social distancing

We are easing into complete accessibility of the children's activity area and will reintroduce items gradually. The Brain Bag collection is the only collection in the library that is unavailable.

We do not quarantine materials. If you would rather not handle recently checked out items, we recommend putting the item on hold and waiting a few days for pickup. Requested items remain on the hold shelves for three days.

What is back:

  • Outreach services to some schools, our senior living facilities and our home-bound patrons
  • Interlibrary Loan services and the courier
  • On-site programming and events

For those patrons in our library district who work from home and for our remote learners, we have widened our Wi-Fi range and availability to 24-hour service. Remember to search the website for on-line subscriptions to DIY services.

To continue picking up your library materials using Curbside Service, please park in front of the building and call the front desk at 913-837-2217. Identify the type of vehicle you are driving and your materials will be delivered to you.

We continue to take the following precautions in our building:

  • Wipes and hand sanitizer available for patron and staff use
  • Signage posted to encourage proper physical distancing and hygiene practices
  • Plexiglass shields between staff and patrons at service points
  • Spacing increased at computers to allow for physical distancing
  • The building is thoroughly sanitized daily, and high-touch areas disinfected regularly throughout the day

We will continue to offer an additional layer of protection through Proactive Protect virus barrier monthly.

 

Coronavirus COVID-19 Information Resources

It is always important to get your news from credible sources and this is especially important when you are looking for health information. The Coronavirus is being monitored and reported around the world.

The CDC provides updated guidance and information as it becomes available regarding the Coronavirus (COVID-19). Local health departments and hospitals also update their information with a local or regional focus. Information on all of these websites is updated frequently.

How can I help protect myself and my family?

There are simple everyday preventive actions the Kansas Department of Health and Environment recommends to help prevent the spread of respiratory viruses. These include:

  • Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
  • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available.

To keep from spreading respiratory illness to others, you should:

  • Stay home when you are sick.
  • Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
  • Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
  • Keep a distance of six feet from other people.
  • Wear a mask in public.
  • Consider available vaccinations.

 

Review Healthy Habits to Help Prevent Flu from the CDC. Nonpharmaceutical Interventions (NPIs) are actions, apart from getting vaccinated and taking medicine, that people and communities can take to help slow the spread of illnesses like pandemic influenza (flu). NPIs are also known as community mitigation strategies. Read more from the CDC.
