Masks Still Required at Main and LaSalle Libraries
The masking policy for city-owned buildings established upon our opening to the public on July 1, 2020 remains in place.  All visitors are required to wear a surgical mask, N95 mask or fabric face covering when in the building.   No face mask = no service.  Unmasked patrons must leave the building.  Masks may be purchased from the library for a fee of $1.00.  Our full Covid related policies and procedures may be reviewed here.
