Some county libraries reopen their doors
Like flowers signaling spring, libraries across Butler County are slowly reopening for in-person visits.
Although operations are subject to change, many are viewing the move as a sign of better times ahead.
The Mars library reopened Wednesday after months of contactless services. Staff members are inviting visitors to enjoy short, in-person trips.
The Butler library plans to kick off March with open doors, according to assistant director Peter Bess. The library will be open to visitors starting at 10 a.m. Monday morning.
The Cranberry library returned to in-person visits last Thursday, according to director Leslie Pallotta.
Prospect and Slippery Rock community libraries have been open to in-person visits, according to their directors.
South Butler Community Library, Evans City Public Library and North Trails Public Library are offering contactless services at this time, according to their websites and staff.
The Zelienople Area Public Library website says the library is open for browsing and computer use, although curbside pickup is employed for checking out items.
Visitors to all libraries will be asked to wear their masks and practice social distancing.
Residents with questions should visit the county library system website, www.bcfls.org/libraries, for information on how to contact their local library.
Hours are listed on each library's website.
