As of 7/1/2020 Masks Required Inside Libraries, 7/1/2020

Effective July 1, masks or face coverings are required in all indoor public locations, including all Lake County Library facilities. What does this mean for your library visit? Please bring a mask or face covering to wear over your mouth and nose while visiting inside Lake County Library District locations. (If you are not able to bring one, you may borrow a clean reusable or disposable one at the library.) Here's a quick overview of mask guidelines:

Age 0 - 2: Exempt
Age 3 - 11: Masks encouraged with adult supervision
Age 12+: Masks required unless a health condition or disability makes it hard to breath when wearing a mask or impossible to wear a mask

If you do not wish to wear a mask, you can still do any of these things without one:

Use Library Take Out to check out physical books, movies, or audio books.
Use Library2Go or the Libby app to download e-books or audio books.
Explore our other Online Resources to find information and get answers.
Use our WiFi outdoors with your own device.

Thank you in advance for your patience and cooperation. Please remember to be kind to library staff as we follow the rules we are given.
