A Letter from the Director

Vail Public Library is enormously happy to have you back! As a department of the Town of Vail, the library is following the protocols provided by Eagle County Public Health and Vail Health professionals in designing parameters for safe use of public spaces. For the latest information and protocols, click https://www.vailgov.com/covid-19#2063384-the-blue-phase.

• Hours of operation are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily.
• In-person services inside the library building is limited to returns; browse-and-checkout; and computer usage for up to two hours. Seating areas, the children’s room, community room, study room and Tech Studio are not accessible at this time.
• All patrons and staff are required to wear face coverings while in the building and must observe social distancing protocols at all times. Gloves are required for use in the periodical lounge.
• The maximum number of patrons and staff in the library will be limited as determined by library administration.
• Curbside pickup is available for patrons who do not wish to enter the building.
• The after-hours book drop at the front of the library is open; patrons are asked to return materials to it or the cart outside the main library, rather than to the service desk, so that appropriate cleaning and disinfecting procedures may be completed before returning them to circulation.
• Restrooms are open to the public.
• Library programming remains in virtual formats.

Please be assured that Vail Public Library puts the safety of its patrons and staff first. Since our re-opening to the public in June, we have used best practices to prioritize the health and safety of our community. We sincerely appreciate your continued cooperation and support and look forward to returning to full services soon. We would like to wish everyone a safe and happy rest of 2020.
