When Brian Sylvester started as the new director of the Dover Public Library this July, he like many people this year had to throw his expectations aside.
Due to the pandemic, the library had been shuttered for months and only started offering curbside pickup of materials in June.
While Dover City Council initially approved the library’s reopening for early August, it was postponed just days before the expected start date. At the time, City Manager Donna Mitchell said the city made this decision “to make sure it is safe for everyone when we reopen, so we do not have to close back up again.”
