As a result of the increase in Omicron cases, in-library visits were paused as of December  20 and the No Contact Pickup service was resumed  from 10 am to 6 pm every day of the week at the CSL Public Librar.

The pickup station was moved from the membership desk to the entrance of the library to allow for temporary setup. Patrons have access to the inside return chute, staff also have access to the main desk where the majority of items pass through.

Many people have called me as the portfolio holder and chair of the Library and Culture Committee as to when we will reopen. We will review this situation on a week by week basis. Omicron remains extremely rampant in the community. Books are available via pickup or online. We also have a wide variety of programming available by Zoom.

Here is a case in point. In Commemoration of Holocaust Remembrance Day, please join the Azrieli Foundation and the library on Wed. January 26 to commemorate International Holocaust Remembrance Day featuring Holocaust survivor Pinchas Blitt, author of A Promise of Sweet Tea. The Zoom link is csllibrary.org/liveonzoom. I will moderate. To reach the TBS line: dial 438-809-7799,then press 500 514 054 ##
