The Bethel Public Library is reopening the first and second floor on Monday, along with returning to regular hours Mondays through Saturdays.  In order to prepare for the reopening, Bethel Library will be closed on Friday.  There will be no phone or in-person services available, as staff will be relocating computers, moving furniture, and preparing spaces for public use. Virtual services will continue to be available. 

Starting on Monday, the business center will be reopened for faxing, scanning, and copying. 

Some services will take long to return.  Bethel Library staff are working on plans for in-person programming and use of meeting rooms.  Magazines and newspapers will not be available for inhouse use.

Everyone in the building, including children ages two and up, are required to wear a mask.  All library materials must be returned in the exterior book drop and quarantined for 48 hours before being handled by the staff or public. 

After Monday, Bethel Library will continue to offer Curbside Pickup, Bag of Books program, Virtual Bookshelves for browsing, and online chat, as well as all the E-Library services that became available during the shutdown.
