Before entering any Rochester Public Library, patrons will be required to wear a mask, sanitize their hands, and submit to a temperature check and health screening questionnaire. Each location has been reconfigured to help visitors and staff maintain proper social distancing guidelines, which will be enforced. Additionally, some areas in each building may remain closed to the public.
Hours and services will be evaluated regularly and may change on short notice. Patrons are encouraged to check https://roccitylibrary.org/ or contact their favorite branch for more information.
