The Lied Public Library in Clarinda, Iowa remains open to the public at this time. Please be assured that the health and safety of library patrons, staff, and volunteers remain a top priority as we continue to closely monitor developments and recommendations regarding Coronavirus (COVID-19). The library is in contact with local, state and federal organizations as to how best to handle this situation.  
 
In response to the current situation and based on advice of healthcare professionals, the library has implemented the following: 
• All library-sponsored programs and outreach are canceled until at least March 31st, except our library board meeting. 
• The Computer Lab will remain open as long as we are able to maintain a supply of hand sanitizer and disinfecting wipes. Disinfectant wipes are available in our computer lab.
• Library volunteers are encouraged to stay home until further notice.
• Certain items have been removed from the library collection and areas, such as toys, stuffed animals, board games and loanable equipment. 
• Community Meeting Rooms will remain open to existing bookings, but groups using these rooms are encouraged to observe social distancing.  No new bookings will be taken for this time frame. 
• Surfaces are wiped down during regular library hours.
• Our service desk has hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes.
• Signage reminds people to wash hands thoroughly and to cover any coughs or sneezes.
• Staff members that do not feel well stay home.
• Library visitors who do not feel well are asked to limit contact with other library users and staff members.
 
As this situation changes, the library will respond accordingly, keeping the welfare of the community and staff members at the forefront of decision-making. We look forward to restoring normal operations.
