WELCOME BACK! / ¡BIENVENIDO NUEVAMENTE! |
|
Welcome back to restored hours and services! As of yesterday, we are thrilled to offer our community restored library hours and services. It’s been a long year and half of online programs and events, curbside services, and new ways of helping our community through unprecedented and trying times. We open for our full service hours and are bringing back many of our signature services. These include Project READ, the Downtown Library Teen Center, several of the early childhood learning interactives, and study rooms. With the health and safety of employees and the public a top priority, indoor in-person public programs and events where groups gather will continue to be postponed until January 2022. Our libraries are youth settings, so safety measures remain in place and we will continue to monitor San Mateo County Health Department and CDC recommended guidelines to ensure a safe and welcoming visit for all. Go here for more information.
¡Bienvenido nuevamente a las horas y servicios restaurados! Comenzando ayer, estamos encantados de ofrecer a nuestra comunidad horarios y servicios restaurados de biblioteca. Ha sido un largo año y medio de programas y eventos en línea, servicios en la acera y nuevas formas de ayudar a nuestra comunidad en tiempos difíciles y sin precedentes. Abrimos nuestras horas de servicio restaurados y estamos restableciendo muchos de nuestros servicios exclusivos. Estos incluyen Proyecto LEER, el Centro para Adolescentes de la Biblioteca Central, varios de los juegos interactivos de aprendizaje infantil, y salas de estudio. Dado que la salud y la seguridad de los empleados y del público son una prioridad máxima, los programas y eventos públicos en persona dentro del edificio se posponen hasta enero del 2022. Nuestras bibliotecas son entornos para jóvenes, por lo que las medidas de seguridad permanecen vigentes y continuaremos monitoreando el Departamento de Salud del Condado de San Mateo y las pautas recomendadas por el CDC para garantizar una visita segura y acogedora para todos.
