COVID-19 Update:
Updated: Nov 18, 2020
Libraries are able to stay open during the MDHHS restrictions that take effect November 18, 2020 through December 8, 2020,
but must maintain strict capacity and gathering limits. During this time period, to keep capacity
limits down, we are restricting computer use to residents of WB and contract communities only.
