All three Juneau Public Libraries will have reduced hours starting Monday, August 23, as staff are reassigned to help with pandemic response. Juneau has been seeing a surge of COVID-19 cases in the community due to the highly transmissible Delta variant.
As of Monday, August 23:
Mitigation measures in place at the library, as well as other City and Borough of Juneau facilities, are adequate to prevent COVID-19 transmission; this temporary reduction is being made due to staffing shortages. Reduced library hours will allow library staff to be reassigned to the Emergency Operations Center (EOC), enabling increased capacity for COVID-19 testing and quarantine/isolation services for the community while COVID-19 is spiking.
Beginning with the week of July 26, the bookstore will be closed Mondays and Tuesdays.
We are changing the days to comply with the new recommendations on masking and limits on the size of indoor gatherings, so as to halt the spread of COVID 19 in our community.
