Over the year and a half, many groups and organizations have had to adapt to a world amid the COVID-19 pandemic. From closing public spaces to moving to curbside delivery models, businesses and other organizations made changes to their everyday operations in hope of slowing the spread of the disease.
Now, the Sherman Public Library is looking to return to some level of normality, or as much of one as can be achieved, as the threat of the pandemic still lingers. Library officials said this week that the facility will be moving past some COVID restrictions while still maintaining safety for its patrons.
Right before the pandemic in January 2020, there was a tidbit of information that showed Americans were twice as likely to be at the library as at a movie theater.

In a world where everything has been changed, it seems, reading books in one way many people dealt with the COVID-19 pandemic. This week, Sherman Public Library s Adult Services Librarian Sunny Purdin said both library staff and patrons have had to make adjustments to keep everyone safe.
Purdin released the following list of the most checked out books of the year for the library. However, she cautioned, that list does not include the books that were checked out digitally through services like Libby.
Digital books have been really big during the pandemic. Those who wanted to be able to flip their books pages with their actual fingers were able to access the library s stacks in several ways.
