How many updates does it take to open a Library?

Sterling Carnegie Library Posted on by

 Apparently 3 at this time! 

  We will start doing curbside again!!! 

This will begin Wednesday  May 6th @ 10 am. We will only be open 10-4 M-F at this time.  We will not be able to let anyone in the building, however if you give us your list we will do our best to fill it. 

 Our biggest concern is keeping our patrons safe and our staff safe.  We will continue to our part of ‘sterilizing’ our materials. We will be wearing masks & gloves.  As many have already stated, this is a ‘new norm’ for us all. So we thank you for your patience and understanding as we maneuver through it. 

Here is a link to our catalog  https://sterling.biblionix.com/catalog/

We will not be able to inter-library loan a book until after the 18th at this time. We can be reached by phone 620-278-3191, email sfpl1917@gmail.com or text us at 620-202-7055. So Wednesday it is!  We have missed all of you and can’t wait to see you again soon! 

2nd Update: Re-Opening?

Greetings patrons!

We were not sure how opening was going to look like on May 4th.  Unfortunately it will not be May 4th but May 5th or 6th.  We are going to try to go back to curbside or door  for the next week or so.  I appreciate everyone’s patience during this time.  We are wanting to make sure all of you are safe and the staff too.  We, the library, have been in constant contact with SCKLS, State Library, library board, & have spoken to Rice Co Health Dept. to create a safe environment for everyone.

So don’t give up on us.. Stay turned for another update Monday!!

Thank you all for your patience

Library Staff

Well, we were hoping for April 19th for re-opening but alas that was scratched.  Now our new date is May 4th to open up to all of our missed patrons!   It has been truly lonely here & we are ready to go back to our ‘new’ norm.   Take care & stay safe everyone.  We will get through this time.  <3  🙂
