The Burlington Public Library is allowing people in without an appointment for the first time since November, when COVID cases were spiking in the community. People are welcome to come in and browse, and check out (books), they can make copies, scan, fax, print, use our computer lab, lots of things we ve always been able to do just a little bit different,” said Library Director Rhonda Frevert.
Frevert said that the library is open for checking out, not hanging out so they have removed some of the reading chairs. They re asking people to socially distance, wear a mask, and limit how much time they spend in the library.

One of my favorite end of the year traditions is gathering staff picks for books, audiobooks, and movies, not just from my own coworkers, but also from staff members at our neighboring libraries, too. I hope you enjoy seeing what your area librarians have been loving this year and find a few things to add to your list to read, listen to, or watch in the new year.
Your local library would love to lend these items to you. Ask your local library about availability or requesting the item through interlibrary loan. These items also could be great gifts to give for the holidays. Check in with your local bookstore. Shopping local helps our communities thrive.
