As the library is the community service, we haven’t been closed for a long period. There were few weeks of lock-down in spring. During the summer\u00a0 as the circumstances allowed, we served our visitors as in\u00a0time before the pandemy.<\/p>\n
Now in the second wave of Covid , \u00a0the situation is worse and libraries are figuring out how to safely serve their communities. To do our part in helping slow the spread of this virus, we have adjusted our rules. Our\u00a0 library has started allowing the public back inside in a limited capacity with all safety measures as wearing masks, disinfection\u00a0and keeping distance.<\/p>\n
As the events and gathering people were not allowed, we decided to have our meetings and events online. \u00a0We are promoting \u00a0use of wide range of digital services including e-books, audio-books, digital magazines and newspapers.<\/p>\n
A project named Family-Reading is for our\u00a0 youngest readers and their families. We prepared selected books with questions. Children, their parents, grandparents and siblings read to eachother, talk about stories they read nad finally, \u00a0when they bring books back to the library, they are rewarded with small gift.<\/p>\n
Kits \u00a0named\u00a0 Take-Read-and-Make is for creative ones. Books accomplained with material for creating have purpose, that children \u00a0spend some quality time off screens.<\/p>\n
Our Tea-time reading is different this year. \u00a0Instead of meeting, our participants\u00a0received books via snail-mail and instead of shearing tea and cookies, they shared quotes and \u00a0kind messages via snail-mail.<\/p>\n
As access to the walls of our library’s gallery was not allowed, we moved our exhibition space online.\u00a0 Join us and take a walk through our virtual gallery where exhibition of our local aquarel painters group is held:<\/p>\n
