The Ellis Library & Reference Center, 3700 S. Custer Road, will be closed for two weeks because a staff member has tested positive for COVID-19.
The Monroe County Library System issued the closing announcement Thursday on social media; explaining shortly afterward via press release and a notice on their website what the situation was.
All other branches of the Monroe County Library System remain open; that decision was made in mid-February. For the most part, library services have been by appointment with curbside services available. Book clubs and story times are meeting remotelyl.
“We have a comprehensive COVID Response Plan in place and we are implementing it now,” Library Director Nancy Bellaire said in the announcement.
