There will be some language indicating the employee is a California disaster worker. B. Adding Temporary Amendments to the Library Behavior Policy (J.

Library Takeout will continue at the front of the building. Patrons are expected to practice physical distancing and wear a mask. Before entering, Patrons will sign-in at a check-in station for a temperature check and questionnaire. Masks will be provided to those that don't have one. This is being added to the policy to make it official until further notice. Board Member Kearney suggested reordering the list of preventative measures to practice.
