I just noticed that the Bethlehem Library is largely back to normal after the pandemic. I will have to go down there and get some books and/or work down at the library. No more working out in the parking lot and I can take my muzzle off when inside the library and working.

There have been a lot of big changes in recent days as we bring back even more of the library experience you’d come to know and love in pre-pandemic times. It’s been a challenging couple of months, and we have been so grateful for your patience and flexibility as we worked hard to balance the services we provided with the health and safety of our community.

The library is now open for in-person use during the following hours:

• 9 a.m.-9 p.m. Monday-Thursday
• 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Friday
• 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday
• noon-5 p.m. Sunday

Just a reminder: The library will be closed Saturday, June 19, in honor of the 156th anniversary of Juneteenth.

Following state guidelines lifting COVID-19 restrictions, the library is not requiring masks inside the building. Unvaccinated individuals will be responsible for their own mask usage. Anyone who chooses to wear a mask for any reason may do so.
