The number of covid cases have been rising in the population of individuals who are not vaccinated. Since students under the age of 12 are not yet able to receive the vaccination we want to take the necessary precautions to prevent the spread of covid for this age group. With the beginning of a new school year, the Illinois State Board of Education is following guidance from the Illinois Department of Health, American Academy of Pediatrics, and the Centers for Disease Control and requiring masks when inside school buildings. The Germantown Public School District uses the Germantown Public Library as an extension of the classroom. Teachers bring their students for weekly visits which allows them to check out reading materials. In order to support the guidance put forth by the ISBE we will once again be requiring the wearing of masks when inside the library. We appreciate your support in these efforts to keep the youngest members of our community as safe as possible.
Please use hand sanitizer, available in the lobby, before entering the library.
Water fountain and restroom are not available for public use at this time.
If you are feeling unwell, please stay home.
